Drei Frauen, drei Schicksale. Ein Sommer, der alles verandert.Blaues Meer, der Himmel in azur und der beste Blaubeerkuchen von Maine: Der Sommer in Boothbay Harbor konnte nicht schoner sein. Doch Veronica, die in einem kleinen Diner arbeitet, kann keinen Sommer mehr genieen, seit sie vor vielen Jahren ihre neugeborene Tochter zur Adoption freigeben musste. Erst die Begegnung mit zwei Besucherinnen des kleinen Kustenstadtchens hilft ihr, wieder nach vorn zu blicken: Gemma, ungewollt schwanger, und Bea, auf der Suche nach ihrer Mutter. Im Laufe des Sommers werden die drei Frauen zu Freundinnen. Und entdecken, dass das groe Gluck manchmal nur einen kleinen Augenblick entfernt liegt.

From the publishers of Bridget Jones's Diary Only an idiot would attempt to make a pie - a special-ordered chocolate caramel cream Amore Pie - while watching Pride and Prejudice. Had she put in the vanilla? What about the salt? Damn Colin Firth and his pond-soaked white shirt. At home in Boothbay Harbour, Maine, Veronica Russo loves to lose herself in watching Colin Firth movies and baking pies filled with good thoughts. Pies that can bring you happiness, hope, even love (everything she feels when Colin Firth is on the screen, in fact). But Veronica is not so in touch with her own feelings and has deeply buried memories of that one heart-breaking summer, when she was just 16 ...In Boston, college graduate Bea Crane has received an earth-shattering letter. A year after the death of her wonderful mum, she reads that she was adopted at birth and that her biological mother lives not that far away, in Boothbay. But is she brave enough to find out more? Gemma Hendricks has come to Boothbay not to find something, but to run away. She's accidentally pregnant, suddenly unemployed and under pressure from her husband to give up on her career and settle down, away from her beloved New York City. With all this on her shoulders, Gemma would rather watch Bridget Jones' Diary with a bowl of popcorn rather than face the truth. But she can't hide away for ever. With Colin Firth in town to shoot a new movie, all three women find their lives become closely entwined. They might be looking out for Colin Firth at every turn, but they'll also find new and important friendships along the way. The perfect feel-good read for anyone who loved Bridget Jones' Diary, From Notting Hill with Love ...Actually and The Jane Austen Book Club. *** This is a work of fiction, in no way endorsed by Colin Firth and where Colin Firth himself does not feature. ***
