By Della Galton

Book Overview

Welcome back to Puddleduck Farm and a wonderfully warm, festive and uplifting read from Della Galton Uplifting, poignant, feel-good fiction at its best. Perfect for the fans of Alison Sherlock, Sarah Hope and Lisa Hobman

Are there enough hours in the day for everyone to find their happy place?

Phoebe Dashwood and Sam Hendrie welcome their beautiful baby daughter into their already busy lives. With motherhood now top of Phoebe's to-do list alongside being a vet, and running an animal sanctuary there's no time for daydreaming.

As Phoebe battles sleepless nights, extra challenges arise in the shape of abandoned African pygmy hedgehogs, stolen cats, and a worrying trend to keep wildlife as pets.

Meanwhile, Sam is selflessly left holding the baby and when a familiar face from the past returns old feelings are tested. With so many plates spinning Sam worries something may get broken ' he just hopes it won't be their relationship.

Can parenthood, a relationship, and a professional life be successfully juggled and is it really ever possible to have it all?

Customer Reviews

Baby hedgehogs, too!

Phoebe has a thriving rural veterinary practice/animal sanctuary, a thriving personal relationship with caring dad Sam, some brand-new motherless puppies, a fussy baby six-week-old Lily, and some difficulties with the breastfeeding. A gentle heartwarming feelgood story to comfort new mothers and remind grandmas of those days in a good way. I requested and received a temporary uncorrected proof copy from Boldwood Books via NetGalley.
