Cottage of Dreams - Summer of Secrets Helen Row Toews

A moving story of second chances, long-buried secrets, and the courage to start again. At almost sixty, Sophie Tremblay believes her best years are behind her. Widowed and preparing to leave the home she has cherished for decades, she stands at a quiet crossroads.

Then an unexpected opportunity calls her to the French countryside. When her aunt and uncle decide to sell their cottage in the Dordogne, Sophie seizes the chance for a new beginning. But her dream is quickly unsettled by the guarded farmer next door, who believed the cottage would be his.

Grégoire Durand wanted the house for his walnut farm, not a new neighbour asking questions he’s not ready to answer. Rumours still swirl about the disappearance of his wife, and as Sophie grows closer to the man behind the silence, she begins to wonder what truth lies hidden in the shadows. The Cottage of Dreams is the sixth book in the captivating Chateau de Belliveau series.

A heart-warming tale of love, loss and new beginnings set in the beautiful South of France.
