September was adopted when she was fifteen months old. She knows nothing about her early life, but she grew up safe and loved. Now, though, it's just September and her feckless boyfriend Shaun. And she's at her wits' end. There's never enough money, and she has nothing to look forward to.
Then a letter comes. September has inherited a house - and Shaun can see endless opportunities if she sells it. But, almost as soon as she sets foot in the garden, September knows she cannot let this home go. And she longs to find out more about the mysterious Lucia who left it to her.
When the members of Lucia's book club arrive, for the first time September hears stories of her mother, of the aunt who adored her, and of the secrets that broke the family apart. And she begins to make new friends.
September feels safe here. But money alone can't bring contentment. September is at the start of a journey full of surprises, shocks - and opportunities, if she's brave enough . . .
