From award winning author, Michelle Vernal comes the second instalment off the Isabel's story series, inspired by her birth family's connection with the Isle of Wight - Fans of Susan Sallis, Ella Carey and Fiona Valpy will absolutely love this captivating, unique story. Veronica and Gabe met when they were children at ballet class and by the time they'd reached their teens they knew they'd be dancing together forever. Only Gabe's mother had other ideas…Twenty something years later, Veronica no longer dances and life hasn't turned out how she thought it would. She's divorced with a needy ex-husband, monosyllabic teenage sons, a sister who fancies herself as a long in the tooth ‘it girl' and a mother who's recently moved into a care home. When Veronica receives a letter, she never thought she'd get her past collides with her present. The time's come for her to share her secret with her family, but she's not the only one keeping a secret…“Michelle has a lovely style, engaging, individual characters with great voices who are comic and charming (reminds me of Marian Keyes). I loved this book.” -HELEN FALCONER
