About this listen

The BRAND NEW, deliciously romantic feel-good listen from BESTSELLER Helen Rolfe, perfect for fans of Shari Low, Heidi Swain and Cathy Bramley

Only a taste of home can heal old wounds

When sisters Addie and Susanna receive invitations to a memorial for their Aunt Gayle, they're heartbroken to learn the woman who raised them has passed away. But arriving on Anchor Island, they're met with the shock of their lives: Gayle is alive and well, busily preparing her own 'Celebration of Life' at her beloved pudding bar, The Sweet Life Café.

Agreeing to stay for the event, the sisters begin sorting through their late father's belongings, reopening wounds they thought long buried, and forcing them to reflect on their lives since leaving the island. Addie is struggling as a single mother, torn between love for her son and doubts about the life she can give him. Susanna's marriage is crumbling, and being back on the island only reminds her why she couldn't wait to escape.

But as Gayle prepares gooey brownies, steaming lattes and delicious cakes for her customers, and for her big event, she is hiding secrets of her own – including one that could change everything the sisters thought they knew about their family...
