they have lived above the shop with Myfanwy, a six-year-old they
adopted when her parents died. The business is successful with the
assistance of friends and Willie, their hardworking stable boy and
their deliveries extend to the stalls and cafes on the beach, where
one stall handler, Peter, becomes a close friend. Love for the sisters
brings only heartache. Cecily's wedding is cancelled and a secret

part of their life to offer them happiness?
