Description:
Home is where the heart is…
Joy has made a family for herself. She’s turned her beautiful old farmhouse into a safe haven for anyone who is looking for a new beginning. She’s always ready with a kind word, a nugget of advice and believes that anyone can change their life for the better, if they really want to.
Libby has exchanged her high-flying job in New York for a break in the quiet Somerset countryside. She’s soon drawn into Joy’s world and into her family of waifs and strays – including Drew, whom Joy once helped get back on his feet.
So when a secret from Joy’s past threatens everything, can the unlikely group come together to give Joy a second chance of her own?

Why We Liked It
We love Helen’s books, she always creates such rounded characters and in The Farmhouse of Second Chances she has gathered together a cast of characters, all of whom have challenging back stories, but central to the story is a mystery which is not revealed until the very last few chapters.
This is a thoughtful story of grief, second chances, gentle romance, forgiveness and kindness set in a delightful farmhouse against a backdrop of the beautiful Somerset countryside.
An uplifting, heart-warming weekend read! Highly Recommended!
