When Zoe Henrys best friend Lou dies suddenly, her world shatters. But she must set aside her grief as shes named guardian of Lous two young children a role she never expected to be taking on.
With her own kids grown up, Zoe was finally beginning to rediscover who she was. Starting over as a mother was the last thing on her mind. But as sleepless nights turn into shared laughter, something begins to stir in her a new sense of purpose.
But just as Zoe starts to believe this unexpected second chance might be the start of something beautiful, a secret left in Lous house threatens to unravel everything.
Now Zoe must face not only the secrets of her best friends past, but the fear that she might lose the fragile new family shes come to cherish.
I have two small children who have an amazing capacity to create untold mess and general havoc. I have an untidy self-employed husband whose ability to leave stuff all over the house knows no bounds. I have two step-sons whose love of lego has left me nursing bruised feet and I have a love of both red wine and Cadburys milk chocolate. I also have a passion for writing so when Im not tidying up after my family or dashing to the gym thats what youll find me doing.
