In this heart-warming story from million copy bestselling author Amanda Prowse, Nora has given up on finding happiness. But has it been waiting for her all along? As Nora and her British Army officer husband, Gordy, pack up yet another home and leave the sun of Cyprus for the drizzle of England, she can' t shake a feeling of regret - at her failure to follow her own dreams, but also, if she' s honest, at having ended up an officer' s wife at all, drifting through a life of temporary homes and temporary relationships. Since losing her parents at a young age, Nora' s life has been lacking an anchor: someone or something to make her feel secure. Her marriage has been her only permanent relationship, and just as even that appears to be fizzling out, a tragedy forces Nora into the role of legal guardian to her seven-year-old nephew, Ted. Faced suddenly with a responsibility she never dreamed of, how can Nora possibly offer the boy the kind of unconditional love he deserves, when she' s never experienced it for herself? But as she navigates the precarious and unfamiliar world of parenthood, Nora begins to see herself through Ted' s eyes, as someone worthy of love and even joy. When she' s welcomed into the previously intimidating huddle of mums at the school gate, she has to wonder: is it too late to smash down the other barriers she' s built - and to have a second chance at a happy marriage with Gordy?
