A FRESH START IN UNCHARTERED TERRITORY; THE CHANCE TO REBUILD HER LIFE...
When Frances changes her unsettled life in Brighton and buys an old farmhouse in the Yorkshire Dales to run as a guesthouse, she finds herself in uncharted territory.
The villagers seem very friendly and talk about the previous owners of Beck Farm but there seems to be some mystery about them. What had happened to the wife of the previous owner - and why was she still resented?
Can Frances find out while at the same time rebuilding her own life?
