Nora Roberts' brand new bestseller Child star Cilla McGowan was washed up by her 18th birthday. The grand-daughter of a world famous movie star, Cilla's long accepted that she's never been quite talented enough to make it to the big time. She's persuaded her mother to sell her the old farmhouse which was her grandmother's retreat from the superficial and cut-throat world of Hollywood, the Little Farm. She's determined to restore the Farm to its former glory, in part in tribute to her grandmother. Janet Hardy had been a screen legend - glamorous, brilliant, and deeply troubled. She had committed suicide in the house in the early 70s. But while the old house is steeped in tragedy, it's also beginning to feel like home to Cilla. There may even be a new man on the horizon - her new neighbour, Ford Sawyer. Cilla finds herself spending her nights dreaming of the grandmother she never really knew and wondering exactly what had happened to her. But Cilla's presence at the Little Farm is stirring up resentment in the local area. She finds herself the target of several brutal acts of vandalism and - with Ford's help - is determined to discover the truth behind her grandmother's death.
