When Seren’s brother Andrew signs her up to Yorkshire Dating, only for them to recommend that she ‘gets a life’ before they find her a match, Seren has to admit that they may have a point. She loves her job cooking at an elder day centre & her little flat, but it’s fair to say her life is a little short of hobbies & friends. Since she was young Seren has felt safer close to home, but now she’s a thirty-something divorcee, it’s time for a change. Change arrives in the shape of alarmingly clever collie Kez, who Seren offers to take in ‘temporarily’, & kind but mysterious new colleague Ned. But as Ned & Kez tempt Seren out of her shell, it means facing her fears. & when Andrew finally reveals the secrets of their childhood, Seren’s need for safety suddenly makes sense. A problem shared is a problem halved, & with friends by her side, Seren might be able to get a life that she loves at last.
