Sweet Adventure

the long version

When Nicola set out on a short motoring holiday, she vaguely hoped to encounter some sort of adventure. She wasn't prepared, however, for the bewildering net of events in which she found herself caught. To lose her way was bad enough, but to find herself involved in a dramatic, sudden death, to become the temporary guardian of a small girl -- and then to have the course of her own life changed. This was more than Nicola had bargained for. How she became involved in the complicated pattern of a strange household, and how, after anxieties and disappointments, she eventually found love and happiness, make an enthralling story.
