\n<\/em><\/strong>
\nHarriet Lang had the perfect life, so she’s left reeling when everything is taken from her in one fell swoop. Suddenly, Harriet learns her beautiful farmhouse in the Cotswolds is double-mortgaged, her husband Richard\u2019s been unceremoniously fired\u2014and he\u2019s become a little too close to his young, sexy assistant.<\/p>\n

Harriet moves into Willoughby Close with her three children, trying to hold her head up high. With the help of her neighbor and newfound friend Ellie Matthews, Harriet starts to rebuild her life–but dipping a toe in the dating pool feels strange and meanwhile, her children are struggling in different ways. She wonders if starting over is really possible…<\/p>\n

Then Willoughby Close begins to weave its healing magic on both her and her children, and Harriet begins to see a way forward. She even starts to date sexy local vet Tom Roberts–but when Richard reappears in her life, wanting to make amends, Harriet must make the painful decision about how much of the past can be forgiven\u2014and what kind of future she is fighting for.<\/p>\n

\u201cCome on,\u201d Harriet said now, as she climbed resolutely out of the car and gave them all as cheerful a smile as she could. \u201cLet\u2019s check it out.\u201d<\/p>\n

The movers had already come; Harriet had marked what furniture to take from their house to Willoughby Close, and it had been a depressingly small amount. The big, bespoke kitchen table wouldn\u2019t fit, and the huge dresser with all the pottery she\u2019d collected over the years wouldn\u2019t either. In fact, at least two-thirds of their furniture was going into storage, which was expensive, but Harriet couldn\u2019t bear to lose all of it along with the house. They\u2019d need it when Richard got his job, and they bought something bigger.<\/p>\n

She\u2019d spent hours and hours, weeks and months, selecting all the furniture for the house, with the help of the expensive interior decorator who had more or less held her hand through the entire process. She\u2019d bought tasteful antiques interspersed with fresh modern pieces, carpets, and kilims from various holidays, watercolors and oil paintings of places that were meaningful to them. Sophie had once said, with admiration that bordered on envy, that Harriet\u2019s house could be featured in Country Life.<\/em><\/p>\n

And so it would again. This was a blip,<\/em> damn it. Things were going to get better. Richard was going to find a job, he\u2019d said so, and they\u2019d get back their house or buy an even better house, and she\u2019d live there without him, happy and defiant. Or something like that. She couldn\u2019t picture specifics yet, but she couldn\u2019t stand the thought of the rest of her life looking like\u2026 this.<\/p>\n

The children trooped silently behind her as she fumbled with the keys and then opened the door to number two. The smell of fresh paint and emptiness hit her like a smack in the face. It was the smell of fresh starts, and she didn\u2019t want one.<\/p>\n

She stepped inside, reaching for the lights. Although it was only four in the afternoon it was already getting dark, the skies heavy and low with gray clouds. Spring felt a long way off, despite the fact that it was mid-February, and the spattering of snowdrops interspersed with an early crocus or two that she\u2019d seen on the drive in.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is it?\u201d Mallory\u2019s voice rang through the empty space, scornful and incredulous. William kicked at the skirting board, scuffing the pristine white paint. Chloe stuck her thumb in her mouth.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, this is it,\u201d Harriet said, trying to pitch her tone somewhere between firm and bright. \u201cIt\u2019s lovely, isn\u2019t it?\u201d<\/p>\n
