What you need to know before your trail
Almost a decade after being rescued from a shipwreck by a local Cornish family, sixteen-year-old Lottie is settled in St Ives with her adoptive family. But after a trip to America to meet her birth mother ends badly, Lottie fears her new life might be falling apart . . .
Arriving back in Cornwall, Lottie struggles to adjust to life with her temperamental mother around, and her very arrival shakes up their quiet community. Lottie, too, faces a more difficult problem – she’s hiding the secret of her first love. And soon she is forced to make a choice between her duty to her family and to her heart.
As new challenges arrive for Lottie and the community in St Ives, will she and her family be able to overcome their troubles and find their way back to each other?

Travel around Sheila Jeffries Cornwall
St Ives – Most of the novel is set here. Sheila’s descriptions of the people and places in and around the town are clear to see. St. Ives -with its history, traditions and folklore. comes to live and it’s a wonderful visit.
” A stolen day felt like a luxury version of a normal day, its colours vivid, its fragrance intoxicating, the skylarks and the song thrushes singing forever, the bees humming from deep inside the bells of foxgloves.”
The scene setting in Cornwall is exquisite and the plant life, flora and fauna particularly so. There are snippets set in New York but this is the subplot of her meeting her mother and this is fleeting. Cornwall is very much the star of the show.
