Book description
A warm and funny novel about facing change in our live, from the
internationally bestselling author Cathy Kelly.
Do you know what you'll be doing next year? Nicole, Virginia, Hope and
Sam all thought they did.
Hope Parker imagined that she'd be slogging it out as a working mum,
trying to fit it in quality time with her young children, and doing her
best not to burn her husband, Matt's dinner.
Her sister, Sam Jones, thought she'd be turning heads in her new job as
a managing director of a record label, climbing to very top of the
career ladder and having her photo emblazoned on the business pages as
the toughest, most brilliant company boss around.
Wild child Nicole Turner reckoned that she'd still be going for wild
party nights with the girls, maybe singing a bit of karaoke, possibly
snogging a guy here or there, and trying not to get fired for using the
office phone to make personal phone calls.
And grandmother Virginia Connell thought she'd still be happily married
to her beloved Bill, teasing him for spending too much time on the golf
course and not enough time walking the dog or cutting the grass.
But they were all wrong. When life changes suddenly for each of these
four women, thay have to look deep inside themselves to discover what
they really want in order to survive the turmoil. And they discover that
a sense of belonging, a loving family and good friends can make all the
difference. Praise for Cathy Kelly
