Love Lessons in Starcross Valley

Written by Lucy Knott

Narrated by Penny Andrews

With the recent breakdown of both her ten-year relationship and her parents' marriage, thirty-five-year-old Marnie Barnes no longer believes in love. To give her life the shake-up it so clearly needs, she books a ticket to Canada.

Thousands of miles away from her home and her twin sister, she struggles to have the life-changing experience she dreamt of – until she meets Nova, a dinosaur-loving space nerd with a penchant for living in the moment. After a wonderful day together in Vancouver, they part ways. Though gutted, Marnie thinks it's proof that she's not meant to find love and tries to move on with her life.

But a few months later, back in England, she bumps into someone achingly familiar. As Marnie navigates her new feelings, takes chances and makes the first move for the first time in her life, can she regain her faith in love – and find it for herself?

“Full of her trademark cosiness.” SAM TONGE, author of Summer Secrets at Streamside Cottage, on The Little Barn of Dreams

Lucy Knott

Lucy Knott loves to write as the sun rises each morning and with the smell of freshly brewed coffee in the air. Being surrounded by a few of her favourite things; stacks of notebooks, a colourful bookshelf and a Shazam poster or two, inspires her to write the uplifting, heartfelt stories she so loves. When not writing or reading, you can find Lucy spending time with her family who have influenced the books she writes with their Italian heritage (on her Mum's side), love of food and strong sibling bonds. Lucy writes stories that she hopes encourages the reader to embrace who they are and believe in their dreams as she believes that no dream is too big or too small. This lead to her recently taking up skateboarding which she is loving every minute of learning and shows that it's never too late to follow your heart.
