IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY, CAN SHE BUILD A NEW LIFE?

1947: The war is over, finally.

Life at Daisy Penny's Blackpool boarding house, Shangri-La, is good - as good as it can be when you've got to feed your family and guests on rations and your husband is sickly. But still she carries on...

However, when tragedy strikes, the indomitable Daisy makes the difficult decision to cut her ties, sell her boarding-house in Blackpool and start a new life in the country.

Has she the strength to start afresh?

Daisy's story started in A Better World Than This, which won the Romantic Novelists' Award.
