Second Act at Appleton Green: An absolutely heartwarming and uplifting romance about family, love and starting over


Overview

When the curtains close, a new beginning waits in the wings After losing her voice before the audition of a lifetime, West End hopeful Lily Baxter flees to the one place that’s always felt like home: her grandmother Violet’s cosy cottage in the heart of Appleton Green. Violet is overjoyed to have Lily back under her roof, even if it’s not under the happiest of circumstances. As Lily muddles through lost dreams and what-ifs, Violet is quietly nursing her own worries—and hoping this unexpected visit might help them both them heal. When charming local nurse Nick encourages Lily to join the village’s amateur dramatics group, she reluctantly agrees — and soon finds herself swept up in script readings, prop-painting parties, and something that feels a lot like falling in love. As opening night draws near, Lily must decide where her heart truly lies: back in the bright lights of London, or centre stage in Appleton Green. *** Perfect for fans of: Cosy romance Small-town settings Stories about starting over Family love *** Readers LOVE Second Act at Appleton Green: 'This is a proper cute read that is perfect for reading curled up on the sofa with a cup of tea.' - NetGalley reviewer, 5* 'A delightful read.'

Author Information

Kate Forster writes books filled with love, laughter, and the enchantment of everyday life. Kate, a Melbourne-based author, crafts realistic characters and touching stories that feel like you're catching up with old friends. When she is not writing, you can find her sharing glimpses of her creative life on social media, soaking up inspiration from her dynamic online community, or spending time with her loving dogs, who are constantly by her side (and occasionally steal the spotlight). Kate, who is tea-fueled and daydreaming on the beach, is all about finding joy in the little things and sharing them through her writing.
