Jessica Redland
About the book...
Can love really be found when you stop looking for it...?
As Samantha Wishaw watches the love of her life marry another woman, she’s ready to give up hope of finding her happy ever after.
But when a chance encounter leads Sam to find friendship in Thomas - a lonely, grumpy elderly widower living at derelict Hedgehog Hollow - her life is about to change forever.
Glad to have a distraction from family feuds and match-making, Sam vows to fulfill Thomas and his wife, Gwendoline's, dreams of restoring Hedgehog Hollow to its former glory, and to open a hedgehog rescue centre.
Throwing herself into the task at hand, little does Sam realise that the keys to love and happiness may also be found at Hedgehog Hollow, when she least expects it...
Escape to Hedgehog Hollow this summer with top 10 bestseller Jessica Redland for the perfect uplifting, feel-good read.

This story had me by the heartstrings the entire time.
Sam had more than a little bit of ups and downs, but with the kind words of her Gramps ringing in her ears, she never truly gave up. She had a wonderfully giving nature, always thinking of others before herself, and yes, sometimes it was to her own detriment, but there's never a wrong time to be nice. There's never a bad moment to show compassion, turn the other cheek, or even if it means a happier heart in the end, cutting ties. She gave up so much in her life, unknowingly of course, and in the time we get to know her, she still loses even more, but we also get to see the blessings her good nature eventually returns to her. Everyone gauges riches differently, but to me, she was top notch. She may have wanted different things from her life, yet by book's end, she can see the forest for the trees, or perhaps better put, the meadow for the flowers. The lives she touched and was touched by, the friendships she lost, gained, and rebuilt anew along the way, the familial connections that gained new strength as she added new members to the clan by choice versus blood, and finally, yes finally, her chance at true, meaningful love.
I had a wonderful time in Hedgehog Hollow and despite the bad times she experienced, the good always won out. Take a trip to a place overflowing with character and characters. A place where good people look out for each other, and there's always room for one more at the table. A place where home truly is where the heart is.

My pleasure! It truly was time well spent and I can still feel the connections built with the characters after the final page.
A lover of hedgehogs as you know, you had me with the title of this book alone ... and then, then I saw the author's home town was Scarborough which as you may also know I have a great love of. How did I miss out on participating in this Tour? I need to get myself a copy.
