Story
Wendy’s life can be neatly divided into two: before and after. Before her husband’s car accident, it was just the two of them. They never took the train at rush hour, and they avoided their noisy neighbour upstairs. Naveem devoted his spare time to vintage train models, and Wendy to re-reading the well-thumbed pages of her favourite books. It didn’t matter what others thought about their small, quiet life together - they were happy. After the coma, Wendy barely recognises herself.

In his will, he states that before they can claim their inheritance, they must spend six months living together in their childhood home in the village of Ballycove, Ireland, and try to repair their broken relationships.

Following the death of her mother, Maggie finally feels able to go in search of her birth mother Morag, and heads to the Highlands of Scotland with her disgruntled daughter, Roxie, in tow, leaving her crumbling marriage to worry about another day. The family reunion is bittersweet, but everything is blown wide open when Roxie unearths Morag’s explosive teenage diaries.

Publisher's Summary
Dear Lily,
It’s me, Joy, your older sister. I thought I’d start a new tradition of letter writing - now that we’re long distance.
On the plane over here, I began to cry. I think the magnitude of it finally hit me, after everything that happened....
I haven’t even unpacked yet. I’m sorry for abandoning you - I’ve always been your agony aunt and a buffer in your shouting matches with Mum. But I had to leave, Lily, I had to.
Anyway, I’m here now. I’m here to start over and face up to the past. I want to learn to laugh again and to find someone to love who will love me back. Wish me luck, little sister.
Love, Joy x
Equal parts heartwarming and heartbreaking. Fans of Jojo Moyes, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine and One Day in December will love this special novel by Drew Davies.
