After the Rain

''Brimming with all the ingredients for the best of novels: love, community spirit, family, friendship and four-legged friends.'' Milly Johnson
''Heartwarming and full of hope. Lucy Dillon brings warmth to every page'' Sarah Morgan

After the storm it''s time for a fresh start . . .

First, the clouds...
Tara Hunter is a therapist on a mission to restore Longhampton''s community spirit after catastrophic flooding. But with her boyfriend AWOL, her family fragmented, and only a cat for company, Tara''s own life is crumbling.

Then the storm...
On top of everything, Tara''s father - last seen as he walked out on her when she was ten years old - is suddenly back, with a surprising offer that could change everything.

And after the rain...
Dr David Dalloway is Longhampton Wellness Centre''s new star counsellor. He''s charming, caring and has a knack for reading people''s minds - which is the last thing Tara needs right now. Will having David and her dad around make for a bigger storm on the horizon? Or is this Tara''s chance for a fresh start?

''Beautifully written with humour and insight'' Katie Fforde
