She is totally in love, but is Dave really the right man for Lisa? As a seaman, he’ll be away for months. Plagued by fears of loss, Lisa falls back into old kleptomaniac patterns she thought she’d long since overcome.

Lisa Edison is an aspiring auctioneer with a strong sense of justice. She easily wins people over and is committed to helping socially disadvantaged children. In doing so, she hopes to give back some of the good she experienced in her own life. She lives with her adoptive parents Richard and Emma, with whom she shares a close and trusting relationship. Deep inside Lisa, however, a fear of rejection is simmering. It wasn’t until she was a teenager that she learned that her mother had given her away after birth. Since then, she has tried several times to contact her biological mother – without success. All letters remained unanswered. Lisa fell into a deep hole afterward and tried to compensate for her fear of loss by shoplifting. Now she believes she has her life under control again. But she was wrong…

A magical romance set against the breathtaking backdrop of the southern English coast! Rosamunde Pilcher’s novels revolve around love and happiness, heartbreak and strokes of fate – the film adaptations of her works have delighted millions worldwide.
