Mel was abandoned as a baby and as she got older she decided she didn’t want to know anything about her birth parents, I mean they obviously didn’t want her so why should she find out only to be hurt again. As a parent now herself she feels more strongly about it, she would never do that to her own daughter, how could you? Mel is a single mother to Kate; her ex-Billy was abusive and is now in prison. She struggles like many single mums to make ends meet and to get things her daughter needs, but it is hard.
When a solicitor letter arrives telling her about an inheritance she thinks it’s a scam. Only when she visits the same solicitors when she is sacked unfairly does she ask about it. She has been left Moreton Inn in Lyme Regis and a large amount of money from an anonymous donor. This could change her and Kate’s life although there are terms to this. She must let the long term resident stay and look after her, she could not sell the place and she was to restore it. With Billy being on release she knew she needed to do this and off her and Kate went for their new life. It wasn’t quite as simple as that though...
Wow, this was so good, I was sceptical through the first few chapters until they had moved to Moreton Inn and things started progressing. A resident that never spoke, staff that were not very welcoming and even customers seeming strange this book had me wanting to know more.
As the story progressed, things were uncovered, secrets, a tragic past and betrayal amongst other things, this book had it all and I was in tears at some points. It was an emotional rollercoaster but one I couldn’t put down.
Would I recommend it? Of course I would, you should read it straight away.
