Description: Marnie O'Kelly's perfect life comes crashing down following the death of her husband Simon. She is left alone with a big house to maintain, finances in disarray and with her hopes for happiness in a heap. But Marnie is a survivor. Despite objections from her two daughters, Molly fears that the only solution will be to sell their beloved home. But as she finds herself drawn to the old neglected and overgrown walled rose garden and the dilapidated gardener's cottage attached, she suddenly sees a future as she decides to restore them. As the rose garden takes on a new life and starts to bloom again, Molly finds that she can look to the future with new confidence and hope.
