Publisher's Synopsis
Devastated when her wedding is called off, Amber escapes to her family's seaside home on a beautiful windswept island. The charming cottage, up a steep lane from the cobbled quay, is falling apart. Grateful for the distraction, Amber throws herself into the renovation with the help of surly red-haired builder Ben. The old building hides many secrets and, behind a cupboard that was sealed decades ago, Amber finds piles of curled documents that send her deep into the past. As she pours over the smudged ink, Amber is drawn into the wartime world of Georgina, a widow whose life was shattered before she came to the island. It was in this very cottage that Georgina found the courage to start again with her two young children. Inspired by Georgina's bravery, Amber begins to reinvent herself as she works with Ben to bring Beehive Cottage back to life.
