Surrounded by olive trees and on the banks of a river, it's the perfect home for his unconventional family of three.But when visitors from across the river bring tragedy, they lay bare Manni's own fragile foundations. As family bonds are tested and old wounds resurface, the rhythms of Southern Spain's land, weather and work offer unexpected healing. Tender and quietly joyful, this is a heart-mending book about human connection, nature's gifts and the power of love in all its forms.
