Description

A December to Remember follows the three North sisters who rekindle their broken relationship in the wake of their father's death. Wildly different half-sisters Maggie, Simone and Star have hardly seen each other since their idyllic summers spent in the charming village of Rowan Thorp, the home of their eccentric father, Augustus. Known for the fruitful ways in which he and his bustling curiosity shop kept the towns tongues wagging and ladies swooning, Augustus was loved by all and known by none, not even his daughters. Now, years later, the three estranged women are unexpectedly reunited at the reading of Augustus's will. Maggie, Simone and Star are shocked to find out that Augustus has engineered a series of hoops through which the three women must jump to unlock their inheritance - the last thing any of them want to do. But each sister desperately needs the money, and they are in no position to rebel against their father's final wishes. Spending the winter months at Rowan Thorp stirs up feelings with forgotten flames, and makes the sisters confront the lives they've left behind. As old wounds resurface and long-buried secrets come to light, the sisters must learn to work together if they hope to succeed. Sometimes the only way to move forward is to go back to where it all began . . .

Author Bio

Jenny Bayliss lives in a small seaside town in Kent with her husband, their children having left home for big adventures. She went back into education when she was thirty-nine and gained a first-class degree in Creative and Professional Writing from Canterbury Christ Church University. Jenny likes long walks along the seafront and baking days, especially when it's cold outside. She is a stationery-obsessed coffee lover who doesn't believe in saving things for best and shamelessly wears party dresses to the supermarket. A December to Remember is Jenny's fourth novel.
