Description
As Nora and her British Army officer husband, Gordy, pack up yet another home and leave the sun of Cyprus for the drizzle of England, she can't shake a feeling of regret - at her failure to follow her own dreams, but also, if she's honest, at having ended up an officer's wife. Since losing her parents at a young age, Nora's life has been lacking an anchor. Her marriage has been her only permanent relationship, and just as that appears to be fizzling out, a tragedy forces Nora into the role of legal guardian to her seven-year-old nephew, Ted. Faced suddenly with a responsibility she never dreamed of, how can Nora possibly offer the boy the kind of unconditional love he deserves, when she's never experienced it for herself? But as she navigates the precarious and unfamiliar world of parenthood, Nora begins to see herself as someone worthy of love and even joy .Is it too late to smash down the other barriers she's built - and to have a second chance at a happy marriage?
