OUT OF HEARTBREAK COMES A NEW LIFE...

Gussie, Ned and Jannie are not quite siblings, but they share a fiercely close and affectionate family bond. In their bohemian Cornish home, with a famous and distinguished artist as their father figure, they glory in their unusual upbringing and their unconventional, loving family life....

Until one day a terrible tragedy destroys the foundations of that family, and they have to learn to cope on their own...

Moving from Cornwall to New York and back again to the West Country, Susan Sallis's warm and powerful novel shows us love and sorrow, and family life in all its guises.
