Vor dem Hintergrund eines verschneiten schottischen Fischerdorfs im Jahr 1900 entfaltet sich die Erzählung, als ein mysteriöser Junge, der einem lange verlorenen Sohn ähnelt, ans Ufer gespült wird, was die Lehrerin Dorothy dazu bringt, sich um ihn zu kümmern. Während Geheimnisse innerhalb der Gemeinschaft ans Licht kommen, erneuert Dorothy ihre Verbindung zu dem zurückgezogenen Fischer Joseph. Die Geschichte thematisiert Liebe, Trauer und die Komplexität des Dorflebens und zeigt, wie begrabene Emotionen unerwartet an die Oberfläche treten können, ähnlich wie die ersten Schneeglöckchen im Frühling.

Der russischstämmige Cop Artie Cohen erhält Besuch von seinem Neffen Billy, der nach seiner Zeit in einer Besserungsanstalt charmant und gewachsen ist.

In order to spend more time with her four-year-old son Ned, Clara Costello trades in her secure, well-paid job and two-seater sports car for a camper van called Winnie, and the three of them set off on a mystery tour of England. Of course, her friends and family think she's gone mad. But when they arrive in Deaconsbridge, a small market town on the edge of the Peak District, Clara and Ned become drawn into the lives of the locals. Two in particular seem destined to get under Clara's skin: Gabriel Liberty, a cranky widower who terrifies his family; and Archie Merryman, a local dealer in second-hand furniture who possesses a heart of gold. Then Clara finds herself having to confront a problem much closer to home, and one she had hoped she would never have to face...
