And a family woven together by love, secrets and their home . . .

Now, as her talent for design takes her in exciting new directions, Alice begins to reclaim the ambitions she once put aside.

Yet as the walls go up, old loyalties and long-held secrets form cracks that cannot be easily repaired. As Alice and Tom look towards the future, can they hold on to the life they have built together when the present keeps shifting beneath them?
