Going back home is sometimes the way to move forward. Defeated, divorced, and obliged to leave London, Simon Whiston returns to the small English village to which he vowed never to return, and to the sister with whom he never got along. But he soon discovers that he isn’t the only one in need of a fresh start. As summer draws to a close, Simon builds an unexpected kinship with his sister, inspires confidence in a boy who has been longing for a father, and kindles a romance with the most unlikely woman in the village.
