"A story about friendship and loss... is there hope for those of a certain age?"
'The time to be happy is now...' Jo remembers her late husband's words but is struggling to face the lonely future that lies ahead. A heartbroken widow, Jo finds herself alone with ghostly memories at Kirkton House - a Cumbrian Manor House that until recently, she ran as a thriving hotel. Her two sons have moved away, Jimmy to run a bar in Barbados and Zach, to London, to pursue a career as a celebrity chef. Middle-age and widowhood loom frighteningly and Jo determines to sell up and start again, despite protestations from colourful friend, Hattie and erstwhile admirer Pete Parks.
But recently single Hattie convinces Jo to postpone any life-changing decisions by enjoying a Caribbean holiday. Meanwhile, widower Pete wants to win Jo's affection and moves heaven and earth to stop her leaving. Jo and Hattie's holiday sets off a course of events that brings mayhem and madness to Jo and her family. Confused and anxious for her future, can life really begin again for Jo?
