Synopsis

A story about finding happiness from the Sunday Times bestseller

Lily and Laurence had it all: the money, the car, a beautiful home in the Buckinghamshire countryside. Then Laurence loses his job and everything disappears.

With nowhere to turn, Lily and Laurence are forced to take their two young children and move to a notoriously rough estate. As they try to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives, Lily constantly dreams of returning to her old, luxurious life. Will her dream come true or will she learn that money doesn't always buy happiness?
