I am racking my brains to remember this book - it is definitely chick lit, and I thought it was by Trisha Ashley, but I’ve got everything of hers, and it’s not among them.

The plot involves a woman and her child, fleeing an abusive or bad marriage/relationship, who arrive at a safe haven at a house in the country, and then I think they go on to build a new life and relationship.

I know it’s not a lot to go on.

Is it Wish upon a Star by Trisha Ashley? Not sure if it totally fits but thought would suggest it

There's a Freya North one with that sort of plot.

It isn’t Wish Upon a Star - I’ve read that one - but I will go and check Freya North - thank you both, @Cityzen74 and @Needmorelego.

Is it Carole Matthews, A Place to Call Home, bloke who lives there is an ex rock star whose wife died, a stripper and a bad tempered old lady. Then this lady and her daughter come along?

Emma Burstall - Tremarnock?
She has a whole series of them based around a woman and her daughter who move there.

Is it Secrets by Freya North?

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 09/03/2023 20:54

It might be Secrets, @PiggyPlumPie - I’m going to give it a try and see.

I knew the wisdom of Mumsnet wouldn’t let me down.

It also sounds like 'Rosie Meadows Regrets' by Catherine Alliott
