Description: Leaving the bustle of London behind to return home to Dartmoor after the death of her father, Alison Bourne finds her legacy in danger of slipping away. Her stepmother Julia has unwelcome plans for her childhood home. The nursery her father had built up so lovingly is overgrown, neglected and - short of a miracle - threatened with closure. Alison realises with a shock how much things have changed, but have the people remained the same? There's Pete, her childhood friend, and Joe and Daisy, who worked for her father for years, but there are new faces too. Mel and Neil and Sam seem destined to play a part in Alison's future, but whether for good or bad - she isn't sure. - Publishers description.
