Publisher's Synopsis
Broken by a tragic loss, Lily Vines receives a letter written by her grandmother before her death, bequeathing Lily her estate.
Desperate to escape the city and reminders of what could have been, Lily returns to her childhood home in Sweethaven to figure out what to do with her inheritance, a big country house, acres of orchard and a town full of broken people.
Despite her best efforts to be done with the place, Irishman Patrick O'Connor knocks on her door. He is soon followed by the lesbian café owners, a burly Texan, a quiet Maori man and a mysterious Englishwoman.
She finds herself unable to leave, even when the town's old wounds are reopened and the truth about Lily's family and her mother's death is revealed.
