The Wish

Description

The touching and emotional new novel from the No.1 bestselling author of The Great Christmas Knit-Off and The Secret of Orchard Cottage Sam Morgan knows he messed up with his wife Chrissie and daughter Holly - he wasn't there when they needed him most, but now he'll do anything to put his family back together again. Until then, he's living in the picture-postcard village of Tindledale helping to renovate the Blackwood Farm Estate for its elusive new owner. Jude Darling is coming home for good this time. She's taking over the antique shop in Tindledale, the place where she grew up and she's going to make sure she's there for her friend, Chrissie, and Goddaughter, Holly. They certainly need her right now. As for Holly, there's only one thing she wants and it's not the sort of thing you can buy in a shop. She might be thirteen years old, but Holly still believes in wishes, and perhaps if she wishes hard enough, this one might come true...
