Just as the lavender harvest begins, she receives shocking news that upends her summer plans, forcing her to navigate change while welcoming a crew of new lavender pickers and holding onto hope. Retreat to the Spanish Sun introduces Eliza, whose peaceful downsized life is turned upside down when all three of her grown children rush back home. With a bustling household, a daughter’s pug, and an online course to finish alongside a demanding job, Eliza discovers that family chaos can be a surprisingly joyful catalyst.
