In affairs of the heart, how far can family loyalties be stretched before they snap . . .
1953, and although the coastal village of Stepmouth appears as idyllic as ever, a passionate feud threatens to shatter the small, tight community. Sixteen-year-old Rachel Vale, wilful and unconventional, has fallen in love with the man her brother hates. When the town is devastated by a vast, unstoppable flood, the Vale family is left broken and irreconcilably divided. Or so it seems.
2003, and Laurie Vale, an only child and aspiring artist, takes a phone call from an aunt she never knew existed, only to discover that everything she ever believed about her family is a lie. As the truth unfolds, the hopes and passions buried in the Vale family's past surface once more. Unknowingly, Laurie has also taken the first step towards becoming ensnared in a complex love affair of her own.
Divided between Fifties Stepmouth and the searing heat of a present day Mallorcan summer, 'We Are Family' is a modern family saga which explores the conflicting relationships of two very different generations.
