Women's Fiction
You can’t choose your family - but you can choose your
friends… A heartfelt, warm and truthful novel about female
friendship. Eve has never imagined herself as a stepmother. But when she
falls in love with Ian, he comes with a ready-made family of
three children. And, to make matters worse, he's a widower.
The ghost of his glamorous and well known wife haunts them. Clare, a teacher and single mother, is Eve's best friend.
She is the only person Eve can talk to about how on earth a
journalist in her thirties can win round three wary
children. But despite Clare's years of practice with her own
teenage daughter, it's Lily, her younger sister, who
provides the truly sympathetic ear. Mel is sent along to Eve's so-called 'support group' by a
colleague. With a fledgling relationship and a new business
to get off the ground, she has a very different set of
pressures to the other women. And Mandy is the stay-at-home mum, whose relationship comes
with stepchildren, and who wants more than anything to
stitch together a happy family life for herself, her kids
and her new step-kids. As a cup of coffee turns to a bottle of wine and the
get-togethers become a regular fixture, conversations about
new families evolve into ones about relationships, life and
each woman’s deepest hopes and dreams. But the friendship is
tested and feelings about lovers, husbands and step-children
challenged when the five women are forced to confront new
futures as well as unwelcome figures from the past...
