'An emotional tale of friendship. This is Cathy at her very best' Sarah Morgan

The sparkling seaside village of Merle Bay, with its beautiful beach scattered with sea glass, is a place where anyone can have a fresh start...

For Katie, it is the perfect hideout after a childhood trauma left her feeling exposed. For Robyn, the fresh sea air is helping to heal her scars, but maybe not her marriage. For Grace, a new start could help her move on from a heartbreaking loss. When they meet on Sea Glass Beach one day, they form an instant bond and soon they're sharing prosecco, laughter - and even their biggest secrets.

Together, the women feel stronger than ever before. So can their friendship help them face old fears and find happy endings - as well as new beginnings?

The joyful and escapist Sunday Times bestseller about three women searching for friendship in a beautiful seaside town.

Cathy Bramley

Cathy Bramley is the Sunday Times bestselling author of eighteen novels and has sold almost two million copies worldwide. She has been a lover of stories since she was a small child and used to beg her mother to take her to the library every week for new books. Many of her passions have come and gone over the years, but her love for story, drama and romance will last a lifetime.

Cathy's books are about people she would want to be friends with, characters her readers will cheer for. They are about ordinary women doing extraordinary things. Cathy has two grown-up daughters and lives in a small village in the English countryside. Her house overlooks fields of barley and the garden is full of fruit trees: damson, plum, pear and, of course, Bramley apples!
