Chicky Starr left Stoneybridge to follow Walter to the States. When they break up, she deceives her family and instead says they are married. She finds work in a rooming house and works hard. Years go by and she has saved some money and is thinking of returning home. Now she makes up a car accident to explain Walter's absence. Back in Stoneybridge, she fixes up an old place to become a lodging and is now ready for her first guests. This book focuses on one character at a time starting with Chicky and going through all the people involved. Like almost all of Binchy's work that I've read, this is a feel-good trip down a predictable but pleasant lane.
