Going Home

Lizzy Walter has packed up her cramped London flat, and the worries that came with it, to travel home for Christmas. Waiting for her is a noisy, warm-hearted family, and at the center of their world stands Keeper House, her parents' country home, which has stayed the same while everything else has changed. Beneath the holiday decorations, however, old rivalries and buried secrets are waiting. When David, the man Lizzy once believed was the great love of her life, turns up unannounced, the season quickly becomes one she would like to erase from memory.

As the cold months give way to spring, the comfortable certainties Lizzy has relied on start to slip. Keeper House faces the possibility of being sold, for reasons she cannot make sense of, and the Walters seem more divided than they have ever been. Lizzy's life also gains a new man, which forces her to consider letting go of the hope that she and David might find their way back to each other.

By the time the family assembles at Keeper House for a summer wedding, far more is at stake for Lizzy, her relatives, and her own heart.
