  Not every story begins in light. 
  Perhaps there was nothing I could have done differently. The atrocities I committed, the lives that I scorched from existence, the power I wielded with so little regard. 
  Or maybe it was the love that I lost? The love that my priest father had snuffed like a candle whose flame has been violently blown out. 
  I have destroyed, killed, manipulated, betrayed, tortured, and I have laughed at it all. 
  Perhaps I lied. Perhaps every story does begin in light – a cruel and unforgiving one.

  An emotional read in the Seabreeze Farm series, from best-selling author Jo Bartlett... have your tissues ready! 
  .A summer to remember... 
  Georgia Banks knows she’s living on borrowed time. So, when doctors tell her she’s got one last summer to make all her dreams come true, she’s determined to make every day count. 
  The one thing that’s never in doubt, is that she wants her best friend, Gabe, to be with her every step of the way. And so, Georgia draws up her not-a-bucket list with all the things she’s determined to tick off before she goes – number one of which is to spend one last summer by the sea. 
  Seabreeze Farm perched high on the cliffs above the English Channel is the perfect spot, and surrounded by the antics of its menagerie of rescued animals and the warmth of the friendship she’s offered there, Georgia starts to believe she can live out all her dreams before it’s too late. 
  And just when she thinks there’s nothing left to wish for, Georgia gets another chance at life. But taking it might mean losing the one person she cares about the most. 
  As she faces her biggest challenge yet, Georgia wonders if her last summer at Seabreeze Farm will mean the end of her biggest dream of all. 
  This book was previously published as One Last Summer at Channel View Farm 
  Praise for Jo Bartlett: 
  'I love second chance stories. I love returning home stories. So a book combining both is an absolute winner for me. The Cornish Midwife is simply gorgeous. Stunning setting, wonderful characters, and oozing with warmth. A triumph from Jo Bartlett.' Jessica Redland 
  'Perfectly written and set in the beating heart of a community, this story is a wonderful slice of Cornish escapism.' Helen J Rolfe
