Book Synopsis
A gorgeous read full of hope, warmth and heartfelt emotion from the Sunday Times bestselling author ​

‘The feeling you get when you read a Milly Johnson book should be bottled and made available on the NHS’ Debbie Johnson

Laurie and Pete should never have met.
But fate has pushed them together for a reason.

 
Six months ago, on the same night, Laurie and Pete both lost their partners.
Struggling to manage the grief, they join the same counselling group – and meet each other.
 
From their sadness, Pete and Laurie find happiness growing and they sense a fresh new beginning. 
Except, the more they talk, the more they begin to spot the strange parallels in their stories.
Then Pete discovers a truth that changes everything.
 
But, as surely as a compass points north, some people cannot be kept apart.

‘The feeling you get when you read a Milly Johnson book should be bottled and made available on the NHS’ -- Debbie Johnson
'A heartfelt novel from one of our favourite authors' * Bella *
'A heart-warming and engaging read' * Woman's Weekly *
'A heartfelt and emotional story . . . It's another wonderful feelgood read from a talented author' * Daily Express *
'Milly Johnson brings her trademark warmth, humour and compassion to this tale of love, fate, second chances and the importance of giving your heart time to heal. The perfect read for a rainy day spent under a blanket' * Culturefly, 8 of the Best New Books To Read This March *
'If your March reading list is all about warmth and cosiness, then Milly Johnson’s latest novel should be top of your reading pile. From the writer of The Magnificent Mrs Mayhew (which is fabulous, by the way) My One True North is full of the heartfelt optimism we need at this time of year' * Yahoo Book of the Month *
'A dazzling, contemporary masterpiece, full of heart, soul and humour' -- Pam Norfolk * Lancashire Evening Post *
'No round-up of holiday reading would be complete without a life-affirming read by the queen of feelgood fiction. As ever, Johnson is in a league of her own in the genre; this is no mere froth, but an uplifting story unfolding from hard times, all succinctly nailed with emotional honesty in absorbing prose' * The Lady *
