To Frances's delight, her neighbours are on board. Mostly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are Jess and Michael, whose marriage is cracking under the unanticipated strain of a recent adoption. And Ryan, a wounded war reporter struggling to connect with his son after a divorce and forced to return to an exasperating parental fold. Plus, a very forthright single mum new to the neighbourhood and an exceedingly proper couple not about to upend their picture-perfect garden for prickly nuisances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs relationships--from the romantic to the nerve-racking--form and secrets are unearthed, Hilltop Place is threatened in ways that affect them all...unaware hedgehogs included.
