Second Chances at the Cottage by the Sea

Written by Rebecca Alexander

Narrated by Naomi Cooper and Julia Pagett

When Eleanor Markham is asked to run a festival on St Brannock's Island, she instantly accepts. She needs something new to focus on after the death of her beloved mother, and she knows that her mother was adopted from the island. When she arrives, Eleanor is welcomed by the islanders. All except rugged farmer Bruno Roskelly. He doesn't want the festival to take place on his land but Eleanor soon realises his gruff exterior hides a kind heart that was broken many years ago. As Eleanor gets closer to learning who her grandmother might be, she uncovers the story of a remarkable woman who risked everything to be with the man she loved . . . As the fragments of history fall into place, Eleanor feels closer to her family than ever before. But can she take inspiration from her past and be brave once more?
