Overview
Now that Nell’s three sons are in work, she’s ready to build a new life for herself. She’s been left a house in England by an elderly aunt and decides to leave Australia for a while.
But her house on Peppercorn Street isn’t fit to live in and Nell is happy to sell it and allow a builder to create Cinnamon Gardens. Her elderly neighbour Winifred however wants to stay in the only home she’s ever known. Violence escalates as someone tries to frighten the old lady into selling, and to make matters worse, her young friend Janey is being stalked.
Can Nell build a new life with a new love? Will she find out why her parents quarrelled with their relatives? And, more importantly, what can she and her new friends do to help each other stay safe?
