Meet Vanessa. She's newly divorced and starting again at fifty-five. Her ex's affair was a nasty surprise that ended their thirty-year marriage. But with a son who's flown the nest and her husband gone, it's time for Vanessa to find a new challenge. Either that or choose to grow old and bitter alone . . . Vanessa decides to make her dream of opening a teashop come true. It's now or never. But running a successful teashop is harder than it looks. With customers proving hard to come by, Vanessa's on the verge of being left with nothing - again. Then she comes across an article about the Museum of Broken Relationships, where the rejected and lovelorn flock to shed the symbols of their shattered dreams. This gives Vanessa a brilliant idea. She opens up her shop to the broken-hearted and her little teashop soon becomes a haven for jilted lovers. Vanessa is always on hand to offer a cup of tea and a listening ear. But can the museum help Vanessa to heal her own heart . . . and perhaps find a second chance at love? AUTHOR: Sally Jenkins lives in the West Midlands of England.
