Suzy Medley is having a bad day...

... when a shabby terrier turns up at her door. Just like Suzy, Scout has been abandoned, although only Suzy has been left with a financial mess and a business in tatters thanks to her ex.

Suzy takes Scout in and her chaotic world changes in unexpected ways: strangers have never been more welcoming and her teenage kids can't wait to come home to visit.

Then a chance encounter on a windy Hebridean beach makes things more complicated, because Suzy isn't the only one who needs a friend.

Scout has plenty of love to go round... but does Suzy?

A wonderfully funny and uplifting story about friendship and second chances (and whisky!), perfect for fans of Gill Sims and Jill Mansell
