About this listen

A feel-good story of new beginnings set in a gorgeous country village.

'A lovely story of finding yourself and discovering what home means. I couldn’t stop turning the pages. Loved it.' Jessica Redland

After losing her job in New York, Amber Green isn’t looking forward to visiting her godmother in the sleepy village of Cranbridge. With its empty lanes and rundown shops, it’s hardly a place to mend her lonely heart.

But when Amber discovers that Cranbridge Stores, owned by her godmother Cathy and son Josh, is under threat of financial ruin, she realises that her skills as a window dresser might just be able to help save the struggling shop.

When disaster strikes, Amber and Josh must unite to save both the shop and the village from flooding.

Can Cranbridge Stores become the heart of the village once more?

And as the village begins to come back to life, perhaps Amber will discover a reason to stay…

A feel-good listen perfect for fans of Katie Fforde and Milly Johnson

'Glorious escapism. Uplifting, heartwarming and joyful, Alison Sherlock writes with a warmth and lightness of touch' Kerry Fisher

Wasn’t sure what this book was about to begin with - it has it all for me - love, family, friendships, laughs and tears. It was easy to follow and had me laughing out loud in some places. I loved seeing the blossoming relationship between Josh and Amber and would love to read more about them.

A lovely little read
