While sorting through her father’s papers after his death, Australian Gina Porter discovers a secret in his past. Does she have family in the UK she doen’t know about? She’s longed for an extended family all her life.
Though her two daughters make many demands of her, expecting her to babysit at a moment’s notice, she decides to travel to England to investigate. Being widowed, she has no one to answer to except herself and anyway, it’s time she did something more exciting with her life.
Peggy Wilkes wakes up every day to verbal abuse from her bullying husband. But she too has decided that the time has come to make a new start - though it won’t be easy.
Brad Rosenberry also needs to leave Australia and go to England, because he’s received an amazing piece of news, which he can’t ignore.
As these two women embark on their personal voyages of self-discovery, they meet new people and forge bonds which will reinforce for them the value of family connections.
REVIEW: ‘This tale of two families forgiving past wounds and starting anew is just the kind of heart-warming story at which Jacobs excels.’ (Booklist on ‘Family Connections’)
