Escape into the world of Sally Page with the perfect armchair read! From the author of the phenomenal bestsellers The Keeper of Stories and The Book of Beginnings comes another novel that will warm your heart. 

Can one small note give her the courage to find a new path? 

Kate gave up her dreams of being a painter years ago. But six little words pinned to the noticeboard of her local café could change her path forever.

For Kate, their new group might just offer a second chance at happiness, if only Bardy can find the strength to share his story too…
