Surrey, 1986: Sent back in time after a lifetime trapped in a loveless marriage, Lucy Hart is determined to find the courage to take back control of her life.

In 2025, reeling from the death of her husband, Lucy must face the truth that she has wasted forty-five years with a man who never truly loved her. At his funeral, shocking revelations come to light, including affairs, a secret love child, and a will that tears her family apart.

Given the chance to return to the past, Lucy finds herself back in 1986, with two small children and a husband whose ambitions leave no room for hers.

This time, she refuses to play the dutiful wife and begins creating her own range of natural soaps and shampoos, an idea that soon blossoms into a thriving business. As success transforms her world, her marriage breaks down, and a new man enters her life, Lucy must decide how far she’s willing to go to secure her freedom.

Join Lucy on her uplifting journey in this time travel tale, full of romance, resilience, and reinvention.

1986 is part of the anthology series, A Year in the Life. Each book revisits a different aspect of life in the 1980s, and each story can be enjoyed standalone.
