About this eBook
From the bestselling author of A Hundred Pieces of Me and One Small Act of Kindness comes a heartwarming, bittersweet and uplifting story of missed chances and unexpected opportunities.
'Lucy Dillon's books make the world a better place' - Heat
Caitlin's life is a mess. Her marriage to a man everyone else thinks is perfect has collapsed, along with her self-esteem, and breaking free seems the only option.
Nancy, her four-year-old daughter, used to talk all the time; in the car, at nursery, to her brother Joel. Then her parents split up. Her daddy moves out. And Nancy stops speaking.
Nancy's Auntie Eva, recently widowed and feeling alone, apart from the companionship of two bewildered pugs, is facing a future without her husband or the dreams she gave up for him.
But when Eva agrees to host her niece and nephew once a fortnight, Caitlin and Eva are made to face the different truths about their marriages - and about what they both really want . . .
'Bittersweet, lovely and ultimately redemptitive; the kind of book that makes you want to live your own life better' - Jojo Moyes
'So satisfying and clever and deeply moving' - Sophie Kinsella

it's rare I find an author whose books I end up buying everything they ever wrote, but Lucy is in my list now. Such beautifully told stories of the hard times in life coming good. And the love of dogs! You read some fiction where it's all rosy and the characters have never experienced real heartbreak, but that's not real life, is it? You need the bad to appreciate the good and LD has got this nailed! xxx
