Jess is barely keeping her chaotic family together. Ed is a tech billionaire hiding from a scandal. A road trip to Scotland with two kids, a dog, and an unexpected companionship that neither expected. Funny, kind, and deeply warm — Jojo Moyes in her most uplifting mode.
Low heat — warmth and humor over steam.
