In the rolling
hills of beautiful Exmoor, there’s a barn. And in that barn, you’ll find Dan.
He’s a maker of exquisite harps - but not a great maker of conversation. He’s
content in his own company, quietly working and away from social situations
that he doesn’t always get right.
But one day, a cherry-socked woman stumbles across his barn and the conversation flows a little more easily than usual. She says her name’s Ellie, a housewife, alone, out on her daily walk and, though she doesn’t say this, she looks sad. He wants to make her feel better, so he gives her one of his harps, made of cherry wood.
And before they know it, this simple act of kindness puts them on the path to friendship, big secrets, pet pheasants and, most importantly, true love.
