When journalist Monica Brunetti enters the town of Lady Helen, she is awed by its beauty. A tiny jewel on the west coast of South Africa, its bright tin roofs and swaying palms seem made for picture postcards, not the real-world problems that have led her there. But the village takes hold of her heart, especially the beleaguered residents of Sandpiper Drift, who are threatened with eviction from their tranquil neighborhood beside the lagoon. And so Monica packs up her laptop, her adopted sons and housekeeper Francina, who's wrestling with a major decision of her own, for the journey of a lifetime.
I really enjoyed reading this book and its predecessor, The Road to Home. Vanessa's writing is so vivid and her stories are captivating. I read each of them cover to cover, putting them down only when I had to! I can't wait to read the next one...

I could not put this book down. I read it in two sittings and thoroughly enjoyed it. Not only was the story entertaining but the characters came alive in an interesting and vibrant country.
