However Ella is determined to rebuild her life and makes plans for a fresh start. But she is soon to realise that no matter how far you run, you can't escape yourself.Libby Pinkney thinks she has life under control; with two well-behaved teenagers, the biggest house with the best sea view and an increasingly impressive presence within the local community.But when a new neighbour moves into the old cottage next door, her well -ordered life threatens to tumble around her like a house of cards. The beach hut, on England's beautiful Hampshire coast stands bravely against the elements.

It plays witness to events that bring joy and tragedy and provides a little retreat for those who seek solace there.
