## Description

On the day she gives birth to her first child, Claire's husband James tells her he's been having an affair. Left with a beautiful baby and a broken heart, she decides to go back to basics . . . and runs home to Mum and Dad. But it's not the sanctuary she'd been hoping for. Juggling her family's drama and the demands of a baby, Claire desperately misses the way things were. So when James gets back in touch, eager to put things right, Claire faces a choice. Will she forgive and forget? Or can she find the courage to take a chance on herself, and start a life of her own?
