Publisher's Synopsis
For Alice Pettiford leaving school and taking a job as a railway secretary made perfect sense. What Alice had not expected was that she would fall in love with colleague Joe Adair. But Joe has to go overseas on National Service, and her bestfriend's brother finds his fondness for Alice deepening. When he and Alice discover an old, abandoned railway coach hidden in a clearing in the Forest of Dean, Alice realizes that it has been a very special, magical place. What she doesn't know is that the coach has played a secret part in the history of Joe's family, and that Joe's mother named it "the pumpkin coach." Now her own destiny will also be shaped by this enchanted refuge.
