Journalist Monica Brunetti will find herself moving to the town of Lady Helen with her two adopted boys and housekeeper, Francina. Monica will take over the local newspaper and Francina will learn to love again and take on a new adventure. Monica will work hard to save the small community of 'Sandpiper Drift' from being torn down for an expensive golf course. The author does a very good job of giving you a feel for South Africa; its many varied cultures, its beauty and its sorrows. I strongly encourage readers to read book one first, so you get an understanding of how all these characters came together as a strong family unit. ( )
