When Louise Parry arrives at Foxhole for her summer holiday, she is welcomed by kind, sensitive Brigid Foster and her incorrigible, elderly mother, Frummie. Amid the peace of Dartmoor, Louise tries to forget the haunting memories from her past but an unexpected visitor forces her to remember.
Meanwhile, Brigid is battling with her own painful memories. It seems she cannot forgive her mother for abandoning her as a child, nor can she accept that her bold, beautiful half-sister, Jemima, was the daughter whom her mother chose to keep.
But, as the summer passes, laughter returns to Foxhole. New relationships are formed, old wounds are healed and past love is rekindled. It is time for each of the women to learn that only in letting go of the past can they find life for today and hope for tomorrow.
