Fall in back in love with life in this gripping read about fate and second chances. Izzy has broken off her engagement to her feckless fiancée Kieran and returned to her childhood home – the sleepy village of Halfhidden. She soon realizes that life in the village is anything but peaceful – for one thing she’s living with her mad aunt Debo and her pack of dogs, and for another, Izzy has a lot of unanswered questions.When she was a teenager, Izzy was involved in a terrible accident, involving various inhabitants of Halfhidden. As she sets out to discover what actually happened on the night of the accident, she realizes that her painful past is actually standing in the way of her future happiness. So when a handsome stranger comes to Halfhidden will she let love back into her life?
Returning to her childhood home, world traveler Izzy has set several tasks for herself. First, set up her online clothing design business, which she has been preparing to do for years. Second, organize her Aunt Debo's animal rescue, which has almost drained Debo's finances completely. Finally, learn the truth about what really happened the night of the tragic car accident that took a friend's life. Izzy does not even remember getting in the car, or why she might have been driving, especially since she was unlicensed and scared of driving. She has never been able to speak with the two others who survived the crash, and at the time family and friends didn't talk about it because they thought it would be too upsetting. These are the diverse ingredients for a fun, quirky read that is part mystery and part romance. With interesting characters and a look into English village life, I read this in one day, and look forward to more by Trisha Ashley.

i have shut off the CAPCHA, so if you are asked to type a word or number, please let me know. It is very annoying and slows down comments.
