I can see my mother is calling me. I answer the phone, knowing I'll have to tell her about Oliver and me breaking up. But before I can, she announces, 'I don't exactly know how to tell you this... But I'm leaving your dad.'
Single together for the first time, 34-year-old Meg and her warm-hearted, long-suffering mother Sally are cancelling Christmas, and running away to a tiny cottage on the Cornish coast. For Meg, it is the perfect place to heal, away from all the mistletoe, while for her mother it has a special, and secret, place in her heart - from a love story that seems a lifetime ago...
Meg and Sally find they're getting to know themselves, and each other, better than ever before. But as they are unable to resist getting involved in the village Christmas celebrations, they encounter two handsome local strangers.
Sometimes, it's being away from home that helps you realise where your heart is. What neither woman knows is that, by the time the new year rolls around, one woman will have fallen in love with her husband all over again, and one marriage will be over for good...
An escapist, romantic and heart-warming novel for fans of One Day in December and No One Cancels Christmas.
