For generations, the Stone family have been making wishes on the old willow tree in their garden. And this year they're wishing harder than ever...

Benedict Stone has lost his sparkle. He's stuck in a rut, business at his jewellery shop has dried up, and his beloved wife Estelle has moved out of their family home. He's desperate to win her back, but doesn't know how.

So, when Benedict's teenage niece Gemma turns up on his doorstep unexpectedly and uninvited, it's the last thing he needs. And after finding out Benedict and Estelle have separated, Gemma makes it her mission to reunite them. Can she help Benedict turn his life around?

An uplifting and feel-good novel about family, secrets and second chances from the bestselling author of The Library of Lost and Found, for readers who love Mike Gayle and Ruth Hogan.
