Molly who's thirty eight and runs her aunt's old farm with an angry sheep and once abused dog among others too from Shetland ponies to chickens and alpacas!
Helpers Bev and Alan whom loves a band t-shirt and sounds like me that way, help her to run a school for troubled teens where after expulsion or being too disruptive can go to for some respite and cool down time.
As they struggle to make money reach all areas of the farm, when handsome TV actor, Shelby shows up with his arsonist wannabe son, Lucas they're very much welcome as Bev fancies Shelby while Molly needs the cash as she sinks her money into the farm and lives in a caravan onsite as money is so tight.
However, as the HS2 train route is set to force them to close or relocate, stress mounts up and tensions get tightened after meeting Shelby's partner who's many years younger, Scarlett, a brief trial of the alpacas being on TV, a fundraiser party by Shelby and a fight with Lucas all up the tension on the farm and then a fire happens too and everything starts adding pressure on Molly as she desperately tries to save her livelihood and keep a level head over everything.
Even when Shelby and Scarlett split especially...
As usual Carole has written a beautiful story about a unique, intriguing setting and finding love unexpectedly. The characters were so complimentary to each other as they were opposites and so the bond between them was unique and beautiful and Lucas was like most teens, misunderstood but hiding a passion and talent which was explored in a marvellous way and encouraged like we would in real life.
I was overjoyed to learn that the story is based on a real teaching farm called Animal Antiks and that they work as incredibly hard as described in the book to help change lives.
Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!
