Rose Walters has never taken a leap of faith quite like this one - she is flying home to England for the first time in decades to search for her first love. But what she finds there is far from what she expected. When Rose turns up at her door, Dora Stutchbury is not sure she's willing to rake over the coals of the past - especially those she has taken care to let lie for so long. But both women are about to be surprised as an unlikely friendship shows them a way forward - and finally unearths some answers to questions about the past, an absent son and lover, and the women themselves.
