Publisher's Synopsis
When Tess finds herself unexpectedly alone and back in Ribblemill, the childhood village she thought she'd escaped, she's sure she can survive a temporary stay. Determined to throw herself into village life, Tess starts a choir and gathers a team of volunteers to restore the walled garden at Ramblings, the local stately home. Everything could be perfect if she weren't sharing a cottage and a cat with a man whose manner is pricklier than the nettles she's removing. As winter approaches, Tess finds herself putting down her own roots as fast as she's pulling them up in the garden. But the ghosts of the past hover close by, and Tess must face them if she's to discover whether home is where her heart has been all along.
