Amelia Riley and Ben Lawson have something in common: their fathers kept secrets. On the day of his father's funeral, Ben's life changes forever when a woman he's never met shows up claiming to be his sister. As he investigates the past, Ben is shaken to discover that much of his life has been built on a carefully constructed foundation of his father's lies. Needing answers, he agrees to visit Juniper Meadows, the ancestral estate owned and run by his long-lost relatives, the Travers family.

Arriving in the pretty Cotswolds countryside, the first person Ben meets is Amelia Riley. They are immediately drawn to one another, but Amelia has her own complicated ties to the Travers family. Her only goal is to set the past to rights so she can move on with a clean conscience.

As Ben starts to see the events of his childhood more clearly, he allows the warmth and fun he finds at Juniper Meadows to draw him in from the cold. But just as he's contemplating setting down roots, Amelia is making plans to leave.

Meanwhile, Ben's sister, Emily, is struggling with her own demons. She has always felt like an outsider in her family, and the discovery of her father's secrets has only made her feel more isolated. She decides to visit Juniper Meadows to confront her past and try to understand her father better.

As Ben and Emily start to unravel the mysteries of the Travers family, they discover that their fathers were not as different as they had thought. They both had their flaws and their struggles, and they both loved their families in their own way.

In the end, Ben and Emily are able to forgive their fathers and find a way to move forward with their lives. They learn that the past is not something to be feared or avoided, but something to be embraced and learned from. And they discover that the most important thing in life is not money or fame, but the love and support of family and friends.

In From the Cold is a beautifully written and emotionally resonant story that explores the complexities of family relationships and the power of forgiveness. Sarah Bennett is a talented writer who has created a characters that are relatable and flawed, and a story that is full of heart and hope. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good, feel-good read.
