Description

Darby loves summer on her family's strawberry farm - but is the weather about to turn? Darby's favourite things are listening to music - preferably The Beatles - picking strawberries on the farm and spending time with her big sister. She is looking forward to doing all three over the long weekend, but when Kaydee has a friend to stay and the sunshine disappears, everything gets turned on its head. When the storm clears, will Darby find everything is back to normal, and what is 'normal' anyway? A warm, thoughtful and reassuring novel from acclaimed author Jo Cotterill.
