Paradise, the house at the head of a sheltered Cornish valley, is where Honor Trevannion lives, surrounded by her family. Frail and elderly, she is inexplicably anxious and distressed by the arrival of a young American bearing an old black and white photograph of a double wedding and looking for a long-lost relation. Her family tries to protect Honor, unaware of the secrets which she keeps from those closest to her, and which are found in a cache of letters hidden for fifty years. Too late to hear the story from Honor herself, the family is faced with revelations which could destroy the tranquillity of life in their beloved valley. Will they be torn apart or can they unite in admiration for one woman's courage in standing by the life-changing decision she made so many years ago?
