DESCRIPTION:
In an ever-changing world, her parents' country home, Keeper House, is the one constant. As winter slowly turns to spring, all the things that Lizzy has taken for granted begin to shift. They say love feels like going home but what if your home is no longer there? Leaving her tiny flat in London -- and a whole host of headaches behind -- Lizzy Walter is making the familiar journey back home to spend Christmas with her chaotic but big-hear ted family. And when David, the Love of Her Life -- or so she thought -- makes an unexpected reappearance, this one ranks as a Christmas she would definitely rather forget. But behind the mistletoe and mince pies, family secrets and rivalries lurk. And, with a new man in her life, she may finally have to kiss her dream of a reunion with David good-bye. By the time the Walters gather at Keeper House for a summer wedding, the stakes have never been higher -- for Lizzy, for her family, and for love.. Her family seems fractured like never before. Keeper House is in jeopardy and might have to be sold for reasons Lizzy doesn't understand
