After the Rain

‘Brimming with all the ingredients for the best of novels: love, community spirit, family, friendship and four-legged friends.’ Milly Johnson ‘Heartwarming and full of hope. Lucy Dillon brings warmth to every page’ Sarah Morgan After the storm it’s time for a fresh start . . . First, the clouds… Tara Hunter is a therapist on a mission to restore Longhampton’s community spirit after catastrophic flooding. But with her boyfriend AWOL, her family fragmented, and only a cat for company, Tara’s own life is crumbling. Then the storm… On top of everything, Tara’s father – last seen as he walked out on her when she was ten years old – is suddenly back, with a surprising offer that could change everything. And after the rain… Dr David Dalloway is Longhampton Wellness Centre’s new star counsellor. He’s charming, caring and has a knack for reading people’s minds – which is the last thing Tara needs right now. Will having David and her dad around make for a bigger storm on the horizon? Or is this Tara’s chance for a fresh start? ‘Beautifully written with humour and insight’ Katie Fforde ——- Readers love After the Rain: ‘I enjoyed this book immensely… Her characters are people you want to spend time with’ ***** ‘This really tugs on your heartstrings’ ***** ‘This book is a joy to escape into.’ ***** ‘I have to confess I look forward to a new Lucy Dillion book every year, I get into a hot bubble bath, apply a face back and settle in for a good cosy read… and I was not disappointed with this year’s offering…’ ***** ‘This is a book that becomes a friend and you never want it to end because you know you will miss their company.’ *****
