When she meets charismatic Texan Jackson McGee, she wrestles with her feelings for him. Should she trust another man?
Heather is juggling babies, work, a rocky marriage and running on wine. An overheard conversation makes her ask, would Mark cheat on her?
Can the sisters help one another to face their fears, dust off and revive those dreams and find joy in life?

I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent with the Douglas clan. It was a dream to follow their adventures in a setting so near to my hometown that I could picture them with such vivid clarity it made the reading that little bit extra special. The writing is so open and inviting, pulling you into the story and holding your attention until the end. Each character played their part extremely well creating a perfect array of stories to fill the book that was heartfelt and emotional. Having just lost my Mam I related to Erin, Heather and Fraser's pain and shared their grieving process and the difficult journey of clearing out special belongings once a loved one has passed.
Erin's story is about survival and strength, her bravery in the face of adversity is to be admired and I was cheering her on every step of the way. Her relationship with Jackson didn't sizzle off the page but gently simmered throughout the book creating a need to read on to see if they would get their happy ever after. Heather's story was difficult to read at times due to her struggles and the demons that she faced. Everyone deals with grief in different ways and this story shines a light on this perfectly.
I enjoyed every minute of this book and felt it portrayed life and love in a true and honest way. I highly recommend spending time with the Douglas clan, it is a superb read and one you will not regret.
