Publisher's Summary
One small act can make a big difference.
Violet Strong is strong by name but not by nature, or so she thinks. She listens but never talks about herself. She’s friendly but doesn’t have many real friends. She’s become good at keeping people at a distance ever since she left home at 18 and never looked back.
But when Violet is forced to return home to care for her estranged mother, Glenys, she quickly finds out that life as a carer isn’t easy. Feeling overwhelmed, she’s forced to turn to the other local carers, including childhood friend Adam, for help. Although returning home still feels like a mistake, maybe it will help Violet right some wrongs. After all, she can’t keep running from her past forever, and in learning to look after others, perhaps Violet can start to finally love herself.

"A poignant reminder about the importance of connection and community, written with such heart." (Nicola Gill, author of The Neighbours)
"Completely beguiling - a messy, loveable cast of characters with Dawn at the centre bringing the light." (Beth Morrey, author of Saving Missy)
