Three devoted sisters… One complicated family.
When Rosa Quinn left her childhood home in Westenbury, she never expected to return over a decade later as the village vicar. But after a health scare and catching her boyfriend cheating, Rosa jumps at the chance to start over and live closer to her triplet sisters Eva and Hannah.
But Rosa’s isn’t the only old face in the village, and when her role in the parish throws her into the path of her ex, she begins to wonder if she’s made a terrible mistake. Meanwhile, Eva and Hannah face their own troubles, as secrets about their family threaten to emerge.
Can Rosa make a life for herself in Westenbury? Or will the sisters discover you can’t run away from the past?

Aw! You kinda gave the game away for those of us ‘southerners’ of a ‘certain age’, as my first thought when Yorkshire is mentioned will always be the successful TV programme, ‘All Creatures Great And Small’
On not such a happy note, once again, those of us born at a certain time will also remember Yorkshire being synonymous with Hindley and Brady ‘The Moors Murderers’.
