Heartwarming, charming and witty Sophie Cousens #1 bestselling author of This Time Next Year
Journalist Ava takes a DNA test hoping to discover her roots. Instead, she finds out she has a half-sister whilst on a live stream watched by 100,000 people. Her boss thinks its the perfect click-bait story. Ava just wants to go to Moiras tiny Scottish village and meet her.
But when Ava arrives undercover as a volunteer farmhand, she realises Moira whos her pig-wrestling, chatterbox polar opposite might not be delighted by the news. And the longer Ava stays in Kilroch, with its inappropriately attractive minister and ties to her hidden family past, the more complicated this surprise is going to get
The perfect funny, heartwarming read for fans of Marian Keyes, Beth OLeary, Sophie Ranald and Mhairi McFarlane.
