Animal behaviorist Miranda has given up on men, preferring to spend her time with animals - after all, they're nicer, kinder and far more reliable. So she opens up her own animal behavior clinic in London's Primrose Hill and is soon working her magic on depressed dalmations and anxious cats. But can she keep the entire male species at bay forever? Her best friend Daisy, an incurably romantic wedding planner doesn't think so, and when a handsome photographer, David, arrives on the scene, Miranda starts to wonder if she's been a bit hasty. But in order to be with David, Miranda knows that she will have to confess to him the dreadful secret that she has harbored for sixteen years. Will she be brave enough to tell him who she really is, and what she once did? A moving, witty and redemptive tale of courage, forgiveness, second chances and llamas, from the internationally best-selling author of 'A Vintage Affair'.
