About the book: 2002 / Six years ago, Gail Lapointe left her native place, going in search of happiness. And, it would seem, this is it. But circumstances force a young charming woman to drop everything and urgently return to the small town of Hartlepool. How does she manage to rent a huge house with a magnificent garden for almost nothing? What kind of strange call does Deputy Police Chief Stan Sizemoor receive one day, and why is he ready to refuse the task under any pretext? And what amazing trials befall two loving hearts?
