Book description
Easily roused to anger, Seranne Laurence is furious when her mother
announces she is to marry the latest in a long line of unsuitable
men-friends. She soon realises that she hasn't the right to interfere
in her mother's life, but that means she has to leave the
Victoria-style tearooms she and her mother run together. Filled with
resentment towards her step-father, she moves to the small, Welsh
village of Cwm Derw and the cottage called Badgers Brook. There she
finds many new friends including Betty and Alun at the Ship and
Compass, Babs and Tony at the bakery and many others. Then there is
Luke, who laughs at her misfortunes and whose friendship she accepts.
It is he, too, who risks his own life to rescue her.
Grace has a son and a daughter and five grandchildren. She busies
herself with fundraising efforts and arranging evening entertainments.
She also gives talks, offering any money received to Sight Savers. Grace
lives in Swansea.
