The moving and uplifting festive novella . . .
Nestled in the Devon countryside, the Keep has always been a refuge for the Chadwicks, even Ed, the black sheep of the family. When Ed finally returns to the Keep after ten years living in the USA, his strange, secretive behaviour means that he often clashes with his relatives. But as the autumn draws to a close and a sprinkling of snow dusts the moors, could the promise of a family Christmas at the Keep be enough to ease tensions and soothe the sting of a long-buried secret?
Now with a new collection of short stories . . .
There are ghosts and friends from the past here; restless wives and surprising romances; gifts from lovers old and new. Full of life and love, this new collection of short stories is the perfect treat for the festive season.

PRAISE FOR MARCIA WILLETT
'Riveting, moving and utterly feel-good.' Daily Mail
'Sweeping powers of description transport her readers to another time and place.' Rosanna Ley
'Gentle yet poignant . . . a book to settle down with and enjoy' Devon Life
Marcia Willett's early life was devoted to the ballet, but her dreams of becoming a ballerina ended when she grew out of the classical proportions required. She had always loved books, and a family crisis made her take up a new career as a novelist - a decision she never regretted.
She lived in a beautiful and wild part of Devon, and her surroundings inspired many of her novels.
Marcia passed away in June 2022. She leaves behind a son and two grandchildren.
