"‘This is a novel to savor. It is as cozy and inviting as the cottage at its heart – and just as full of hidden treasures’ CHRISTINA LAUREN, bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners
Inspired by the viral 'treasure houses' on social media, a single mother and her daughter relocate to rural Maine for the chance to own their very first home – only to discover that the real treasures hidden inside aren’t just objects, but community, belonging and love. For fans of The Wedding People by Alison Espach and Jojo Moyes.
Every house has a story. This one might change her future.
All Zoe Copeland has ever wanted is somewhere to call home. Years in foster care has seen her move from place to place, and now as she faces eviction, Zoe’s determined not to let her eleven-year-old daughter grow up the same way.
So when a too-good-to-be-true cottage comes up for sale, Zoe takes the leap and moves them to a tiny seaside town she’s never even heard of. The catch? It’s a treasure house packed floor to ceiling with clutter. While Florence is falling in love with the various knick-knacks, Zoe becomes convinced she’s made a huge mistake, especially when her grumpy neighbour Jake says exactly that . . . even as he keeps showing up to help.
As they start clearing the house, Zoe slowly pieces together the story behind its former owner, Marly. And the deeper she digs, the more more parallels she begins to find in her own life.
Because Zoe’s whole world has always been just her and Florence. But maybe it’s time to let others in and finally discover what home really means."
