A world of unfolding romance and unexpected friendships. A story about embracing life's ebbs and flows. Judith, after a long career as an art teacher, moves back into her childhood home in the Cotswolds. Out of the blue hand-painted postcards land on her doormat, each one portraying a line from the well-remembered magpie nursery rhyme. Nudged by their arrival Judith interprets them as a sign to seek out those in the village who most need her help and to face her past. Enticed out of the doldrums of retirement, her compassion is ignited, and she discovers passion and purpose in her role as an unlikely confidant to many. With her closest friend, Louise, encouraging her to pick up her art, and her life again, Judith embarks on her journey of rediscovery, unlikely connections and renewed hope. And, with a bubbling excitement, she realises this is the start of something new. But who is sending the cards and when will they reveal themselves, if at all, and, when romance is rekindled, with a long-forgotten school friend, will Judith too, at last, find happiness. After all that's what we all want in life, isn't it? A beautifully sensitive story heralding change, acceptance, and forgiveness on the journey to finding happiness.
