Book description
Dulcie Ballantyne knows that creative writers' groups attract an
unlikely mix of people, so when she starts up Hidden Talents, she is
well prepared for the assortment of people she is bringing together:
Beth King is facing empty-nest syndrome as her only son, Nathan, leaves
home for university. Jack Solomon, a local estate agent, is having
trouble coming to terms with the shock of his wife leaving him for his
best friend. Jaz Rafferty is an intensely private seventeen-year-old
girl, who writes to escape her large, boisterous family. Victor
Blackmore is a know-it-all, who claims to be writing the blockbuster
novel every publisher will be clamouring for. What they all have in
common is a need to escape, as well as a desire to keep their lives as
private as possible. As they grow more confident in their writing
skills, friendships develop, and gradually they come to realise that a
little openness isn't necessarily a bad thing.
