Amy Matthews in conversation
We are delighted to have Jodi McAlister chat with Amy Matthews about 'The Treasure House'.
In this tender-hearted novel, a single mom's fixer-upper may also open a new door to love – from Amy Matthews, the award-winning author of Someone Else's Bucket List.
Zoe Copeland and her daughter Florence need a new start. The only problem is, Zoe can't really afford one. So when she stumbles across a listing for a charming cottage in Maine that is in her price range, she has no choice but to seize the opportunity. The catch? It's a treasure house-filled to the brim with junk, and being sold as is.
Their grumpy new neighbour, Jake, thinks Zoe's crazy for undertaking this task-though that doesn't stop him from lending a hand, and it's not long before Zoe starts daydreaming about the handsome handyman. As the air turns crisp and fall sets in, Zoe becomes increasingly intrigued by Marly, the woman who lived in the house before them. This was supposed to be a fresh start, a chance to give Florence the security she never had. But as Zoe uncovers Marly's secrets and her own past comes crashing into the present, Zoe's life is quickly becoming even messier than the coastal house she's renovating. With her heart and her home on the line, can Zoe put all of the broken pieces of her life back together?
Free, but bookings are essential.
