The Liz who returns to Balmuir is a different woman. Now, in the wake of a near-tragedy, she must draw on her newfound strength to make a difficult choice. To look at her life in a different way, standing tall, and...

I am a big fan of Rosamunde Pilcher and am glad to see her son, Robin, has apparently inherited his mother's gift for characters and feel-good plots.
Liz has witnessed a lot in her life: the birth of a son, the death of a mother, and the sight of her husband with another woman. Bitterness with her marriage has distanced her from her son and she's battling a development company that wants to purchase her family's land in order to build a golf course. She takes a trip to Spain and upon her return, she is a different woman. Hence, she is "starting over".
Carol G. (This book is set in Scotland and is a great read. Robin Pilcher is as good an author as his mother, Rosamunde Pilcher.
