Book description
Once Jane and Alexandra were inseparable sharing adventures, secrets
and big dreams for the future. But when Jane got pregnant at seventeen,
they drifted apart. Seventeen years later, Jane discovers Alexandra has
disappeared and she sets about helping Alexandra s broken-hearted
husband, Tom, to find his wife. But in searching for Alexandra Jane is
about to confront some big questions about herself. Like, what happened
to the high-spirited seventeen-year-old she once was? What will happen
if she stops trying to control the world? And does love really mean
letting people go? Two fractured people come together accidentally and
in one another they find strength, friendship and even the beginnings
of hope .. Anna McPartlin s life and her writing are all about finding
humour and humanity in even the darkest situations. Her experience of
losing her parents at a young age has given her a profound understanding
of loss, surviving it and making the very best of life. Before becoming
a full-time writer Anna was, among other things, a stand-up comedian and
a claims adjuster. As well as novels, she writes TV comedy drama. She is
in her mid-thirties and lives just outside Dublin with her husband, a
musician.
