A gripping and heartfelt story about overcoming the past and finding where you belong. Anna Wilson travels the world as a professional housesitter – stepping into other people’s lives - caring for their homes, pets and sometimes even neighbours. Living vicariously. But all Anna has ever really wanted is a home of her own – a proper one, filled with family and love and happy memories. If only she knew where to start.

Dr Holly Graham is finding life with two sets of twins exhausting. Even with husband Dr Taffy Jones and devoted friend Elsie by her side, she is completely outnumbered. Making the transition back to work will be no easy feat, but a regular slot on Radio Larkford as their on-air doctor might be the perfect stepping stone, until an unexpected job offer changes everything.

Jamie and her son, Bo, have learnt never to take anything for granted. They had had a lovely home, Jamie had had a good job and all had been well in their little world. Until COVID hit. Now, Jamie finds herself scratching to make ends meet, working in a job she hates, living in a rented flat with a dodgy landlord and reliant on the local food bank. She’s not proud, but she finds it hard to admit she needs some help. And so when she meets an unlikely and colourful group of people in the queue at the food bank, she finds she’s not as alone as she thought.
