About this listen

Escape to the Lakes with million-copy bestseller Jessica Redland for a BRAND NEW uplifting story of family, friendship and love

Melanie knows she’s been running away... But maybe there really is no place like home

For the last seven years Mel has been hiding; from life, from her friends and from those who love her the most - her family. But being at home in her beloved Lake District has been far too painful for Mel to contemplate. Because seven years ago, Mel lost everything and she’s never been able to banish the dark clouds that follow her.

When Mel returns to Willowdale for a family event, she has no intention of staying. But surrounded by her family she begins to realise just how much she's been missing and also, how much healing she still needs to do.

Starting a dream job at Willowdale Hall, going on walks with Emma and her funny alpacas and reconnecting with those she loves, Mel slowly begins to see chinks of light and a more hopeful and happier future ahead.

And as Mel begins to feel stronger, she also feels brave enough to face the most painful part of leaving home…the one man she has always loved. With his help, can she finally banish the dark clouds forever and see the sunshine after the rain?

i loved listening to Mel's journey. It's a beautiful story that hits the right balance of sadness and loss, searching and yearning, learning and finally acceptance and happiness. Great narration too.

Beautiful story

Very disappointed Read on about her feelings with that much consideration or others in the book the story and are and how they might feel. I usually enjoy this writer but not this time.

Very self-centred person
