A deeply emotional new novel from the bestselling author of Thursdays in the Park Stella`s marriage ended decades ago, after the event that not only shattered her life with her husband, Jack, but shaped her relationship with her daughter, Eve, too. Now, despite the tensions that linger between mother and daughter, Stella is called upon to look after Eve in her time of need. She just hadn`t bargained on being thrown together with her handsome, stubborn ex-husband too - who reminds her so disturbingly of the past. Just as tragedy once tore them apart, now the love they share for their little grandson is slowly bringing Stella and Jack back together. But each of them has a new partner and a new life. Should they fight temptation? Should the past remain the past? Or are some loves simply meant to be?
