About this listen
The touching and emotional new novel from the number one best-selling author of The Secret of Orchard Cottage and The Great Christmas Knit Off.
Sam Morgan knows he messed up with his wife, Chrissie, and daughter, Holly - he wasn’t there when they needed him most, but now he’ll do anything to put his family back together again. Until then, he's back living in the picture-postcard village of Tindledale.
Jude Darling is coming home for good this time. She's taking over the antique shop in Tindledale, the place where she grew up, and she's going to make sure she's there for her friend, Chrissie, and goddaughter, Holly. They certainly need her right now.
As for Holly, there's only one thing she wants, and it's not the sort of thing you can buy in a shop. She might be 13 years old, but Holly still believes in wishes, and perhaps if she wishes hard enough, this one might come true....

Story
Juliet’s been in hiding - from her family, from her broken life, but most of all from the fact that Ben’s not around anymore. Her mother, Diane, has run out of advice. But then she insists Juliet look after her elderly Labrador and it becomes apparent that Coco the dog might actually be the one who can rescue her daughter. Especially when it leads to her walking dogs for a few other locals too, including a spaniel, Damson, who belongs to a very attractive man.... Before she knows it, Juliet realizes she has somehow become the town’s unofficial pet-sitter.

Story
An irresistible novel about women, men, and the dogs that own them. Thirty-nine year old Rachel is having a really bad year. After losing her job and breaking up with her boyfriend, Rachel has inherited her late aunt's house, her beloved border collie, and a crowded rescue kennel, despite the fact that she knows almost nothing about dogs. Still, considering her limited options, she gamely takes up the challenge of running the kennel. And as Rachel starts finding new homes for the abandoned strays, it turns out that it might not just be the dogs that need rescuing.
