Can revelations from the past help them start a new life?

The Widow's Cottage, the house where they were staying was called, and it was poignantly suitable. In that tiny Cornish community they discover strange memories of their ancestors, and especially of Tilly, Caro's mother, whose family history seemed to mirror so much of their own. They become swept up in the dramatic story of Tilly and her family, a story which takes them on an epic journey across the West Country and to the solution of an amazing family mystery.
