Overton is a tiny Village in the English countryside. Farming is its bread-and-butter. Race-horses are its beating heart. But beyond the rolling hills and behind the stable doors lies a green and not-so-pleasant land - When the body of a local teenage boy is found underneath the wheels of a tractor, the villagers in this remote community - his friends - are forced to open up their world and watch their secrets spill out. Secrets that will change their particular brand of country life forever.

From the author of The Middle Place comes a new memoir that examines the bond-sometimes nourishing, sometimes exasperating, occasionally divine-between mothers and daughters.
