Perfect for you if...

You enjoy historical fiction set in ordinary communities where character development matters more than grand events.
You appreciate slow-burn romance that develops alongside a woman finding her independence and building real friendships.
You're drawn to stories about grief, resilience, and the quiet courage it takes to leave behind what's familiar.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer fast-paced plots with dramatic twists and high stakes rather than intimate domestic stories.
You want romance to be the primary focus with everything else secondary to the relationship tension.
You're looking for novels set in glamorous locations or featuring wealthy, polished characters rather than working-class communities.

About this book

Joanna Marshall has spent eighteen sheltered years with her family. After losing both parents, she is forced to live with her bitter Aunt Ivy. Joanna faces a difficult choice: remain with her aunt in a life of dependence, or move to the country cottage she inherited from her mother and attempt to build a new life alone. Determined to start fresh, Joanna relocates to Plotlands in Dunton, Essex—a place unfamiliar to her. Without guidance or experience, she worries she may fail and be forced to return to her relatives. As she settles into her new community, Joanna develops feelings for her boss while building friendships with her neighbours. She must find the courage to pursue her dreams of a home and love. This is the first book in The Heart of Plotlands series, set in the 1930s Plotlands.
