Poldhu Tea Rooms, Poldhu Cove, Cornwall, 1901: When not serving tea to the local gentry, Ellie Rosevear, a pleasant, diffident young woman likes nothing better than making exquisite hand-made lace and walking barefoot in the surf, searching for sea glass. Life is good until an unexpected incident changes Ellie's tranquil world forever. Suddenly, she is the centre of attention, with not only the fine ladies of Bochym Manor, a place of bittersweet childhood memories for her, but also Philip Goldsworthy, the indomitable, wealthy son of a corn mill owner, and his lifelong friend, the shy, enigmatic Thatcher, Guy Blackthorn. For better or worse, Ellie becomes intrinsically entwined in their lives when a shocking family secret emerges and a haunting mystery from Ellie's past threatens her very future. She needs to uncover the truth. Others want only to keep it under wraps and will go to extreme lengths to do so. Can Ellie find the courage to do what she must do, and at what cost?
