Postcards from the Past

Willett excels at writing warm multigenerational family sagas that move forward with a bit of spiritual guidance and are steeped in the history of a place. In this title, Billa, her brother Ed, and half-brother Dom have returned to their childhood homes in Cornwall, England, to live out their retirement years with their dogs in an idyllic small town along the coast. Their peaceful lives are shattered when menacing postcards start arriving from Tris, who was briefly their evil stepbrother. Amid the tension of waiting to find out what Tris has in store for them, they enjoy visits from Dom's goddaughter Tilly and his grandson Harry. Tilly's computer work brings new friends together among this surrogate family and even introduces her to an unlikely new love interest while all the pieces of the story fall into place as they should.
