The Start of Something Wonderful

About the book

Autumn Laine is in a creative rut. With the loss of her grandad and her job as an illustrator, she finds herself at a crossroads in life and in need of a break. Despite being surrounded by the artistic community of Montmartre in Paris, where her parents live, she still feels lost.

So when her penpal, Rosie, offers her a chance to stay in the tranquil Lake District, Autumn seizes the opportunity to escape the chaos of Paris. What better place to reignite her creative spark than the very same place that inspired her idol, Beatrix Potter?

As she arrives in the idyllic lakeside village of Willowdale, Autumn is enchanted by the beauty and magic of the landscape. Embraced by the warm community, she begins to feel like herself again as her creativity is awakened.

But when she meets Dane, a fellow Lake District escapee, will Autumn be able to let her guard down and allow him into her life? Or will her past continue to haunt her and hold her back?

Starting over is terrifying, but could it also lead to something wonderful?
