Description

A gorgeously romantic debut about rotten men, good men, hand-made aprons,
and family secrets 'What makes you happy? What do you want from life?' I
ran through a list of things that I supposed would make me sound cool. And
then I told the truth. 'A home,' I said. 'A home with some people in it I
love.' On a mission to have the perfect home, with tweeting bluebirds and a
white picket fence, Juliet hits a major stumbling block - reality. On the
first night with her boyfriend in their new flat, Juliet discovers that
Simon has been sleeping with her best friend. After growing up in a
dysfunctional family with secrets that haunt her, there's no way she is
prepared to build her nest on a broken branch. Heartbroken and seeking an
escape from her troubles, Juliet retreats into the comforting world of her
grandmother's 1950s homemaking manuals, discovering tips like "put a ribbon
in your hair to brighten your husband's day" and though Juliet knows that
won't get her anywhere, she discovers that craft and homemaking are back in
style. Taking control of her life, Juliet is determined to get her home
with a heart. But who will win hers?
