After the death of her beloved husband, Peter, Grace sells up in an attempt to make a fresh start and move on with her life. Although she knows Peter would have wanted her to fall in love again, she can't imagine being with another man--let alone one half her age--but during the long, sultry summer in her new home, Grace finally rediscovers her passion and laughter again when she embarks on a bittersweet love affair with Tom, her neighbour's son. Will their May to December relationship survive the wrath of his interfering mother--or will he leave her behind at the end of their summer together and go travelling as originally planned?
