Magnolia Gardens

At the end of Hawthorn Close there is a charming park which boasts two magnificent magnolia trees, and an assortment of houses and units. Several new occupants are moving into the neighbourhood and will live in units fronting the park, built and managed by a charity for people needing a home for a while. Amongst them is Brett, 18, an orphan just out of the foster child system; Carla, who is escaping an abusive ex-partner; and Matthew Woodley, a widower whose house had burnt down while he was in hospital.From the cottages and farms to the local shop, pub and old manor house, residents’ lives are set to intertwine, relationships bloom and both romance and heartache lie ahead.
