Rob Carswell has recently relocated to the Wiltshire village of Essington St Mary, although the reality is proving less peaceful than he had expected. For one thing, there's a nuisance of a dog to deal with but then he discovers the plight of neighbour Ilsa. Illness has taken its toll and she is also dealing with the bullying tactics of the builder intent on destroying the character of the neighbourhood.
Amy Hatherall is feeling a little adrift following the death of her mother, but a final, handwritten letter leads her in an unexpected direction to a great-aunt she never knew she had in Wiltshire.
As the line of old hawthorn trees begin to blossom, they watch over as romance and new beginnings bloom for the residents of the close.

At the end of Hawthorn Close, nestled at the heart of the Wiltshire village of Essington St Mary, is a charming park which boasts two magnificent magnolia trees. New arrivals are moving into the neighbourhood, including
those being lent a helping hand from a local charitable trust, and are enjoying strolling in their shade. Amongst them is Brett, an orphan just out of the foster child system; Carla, who is escaping an abusive ex-partner; and Matthew, a widower whose house had burnt down while he was in hospital.
New beginnings are dawning for everyone and as the coming weeks unfold, Brett, Carla and Matthew will set out on paths to lives they could not have imagined when they first came to Magnolia Gardens.

Chance brings Nina Thomas and elderly Laura Chadwick together at just the time when Laura is in need of a friend to help with an interfering family member. Their growing bond is one thing that Nina will be sorry to leave behind as she relocates from Australia to England, but they promise to stay in touch. It will prove to be a significant friendship.
In England, Nina's path soon crosses with Sean Reynolds and she finds herself taking on a project larger than she had ever expected: Lavender Lane. Apparently, the welcoming group of properties was a convalescent home for officers from the armed forces, although it has been closed for a few years. Reopening the site is going to be a challenge for Nina and Lavender Lane has a number of surprises awaiting her, so settling down and making it her home might not be straight forward.
