'This book felt like one huge hug' 5-star reader review___________Meet Birdie Greenwing, tough, determined and no-nonsense. Also, lonely and carrying secrets that only her beloved rescue dog knows. Ada Kowalski is lonely too. She came to England to help people, but she can't seem to help herself. Then there's Jane and her daughter Frankie, new to Shrublands Avenue and finally finding their feet - although Jane's cleaning-obsessive mother Min is never far away. Jane wishes she could be as outspoken as her daughter and stop people-pleasing. One life-changing event brings Birdie, Ada and Jane together in ways they never imagined. But is it ever too late to begin again?
