Would rate it 0.5 if I could. It was so badly written (a lot of telling not showing, and info-dumping) that I gave up 2 chapters in.

The story of Lottie and her adoptive family, the life trials she faces, finding love at 16, falling pregnant in an old fashioned Cornish village, her lover Matt's reaction and the rest of her family. Going to New York to meet her birth mother Olivia, a former child ballerina lost in her own alcohol filled world and her demise. When Lottie leaves home due to the animosity of her loved ones, all except Nan, she wonders if she will ever return to the village and man she loves. A lovely read on a cold Autumn night leading upto Christmas.
