‘An utterly gorgeous story, with an utterly gorgeous plot that kept me turning the pages ... left me feeling full of happiness and hope.’ Becca’s Books New home. New life. New beginning. Love affairs can blossom in the most unlikely places . . . When Kitty inherits Bluebell Lodge from her grandmother, a farm in the beautiful Staffordshire countryside, it’s time for fresh air and a fresh start. Up to her elbows in chickens and ponies, Kitty soon realises there’s an awful lot to learn about farming. Still, at least the locals seem friendly, not least her handsome neighbour Tom… But just as Kitty is beginning to find her feet, and the possibility of love, the discovery of a long-hidden diary, by a mysterious character called Violet changes everything. Who is Violet and what is her message for Kitty? As Kitty fills in the lost pieces of her family jigsaw and discovers some shocking revelations, will her countryside dream and blossoming relationship fall to pieces? When it comes to life in the country, nothing is ever quite as it seems … A heart warming, moving and funny tale, perfect for fans of Debbie Johnson and Cathy Bramley. Praise for Kitty's Countryside Dream: ‘This is an excellent book which swept me along so well that I read it in less than a day.

I can see that fans of Cathy Bramley and Cathy Woodman would love this book.’ Rea's Book Reviews ‘Kitty's Countryside Dream will have you laughing and smiling one minute and then you'll feel it pulling at your heart strings.

I can't wait for the next offering by the truly gorgeous Christie Barlow.’ Crooks on Books ‘I didn’t want to put the book down.’ Best Crime Books and More ‘Kitty's Countryside Dream is a soul-boosting necessity. I have a suspicion it's been sprinkled with a little bit of magic, as on the darkest days it'll warm your cockles and make everything seem right with the world.So, get those wellies on and head for a new roost in the country in this delicious feel-good tale with a gorgeous soft centre.' Little Bookness Lane 'A fantastic story, one that will keep you reading long into the night, just to find out what happens.
