Some guests were looking for love, others for a bit of peace and quiet. One particularly memorable Italian-speaking guest was “looking for a bear.” Charmed by the beautiful gardens, pristine natural surroundings, and caring hosts, guests returned to Holly Cottage over and over again. Readers, too, will return again and again to these smart, wryly funny, and deeply touching stories.

Now, in 1954, the devastating consequences erupt again in tragedy. Anna fears for her own safety and feels forced into abandoning her aspirations for a successful career. Leaving behind her dear friend Ethel, Anna escapes to nearby Dartmoor, of which she has fond memories from when she was evacuated to Tavistock after the bombing raid that was to change her life for ever. But will her return to the moor bring her hope? Along the way, Anna encounters various other victims of fate who have their own secrets to tell. Will they all have the courage to seek out the happiness they deserve, and will Anna be able to help them - or herself? An endearing tale of warmth and friendship, love and hope set in the city of Plymouth and the wilds of Dartmoor.
