Book Synopsis

''Sophie Duffy is a real find. Sharp as a tack.''

Laurie Graham


''By turns deeply moving and funny, the narrative zips along in an appealing and spirited voice.''

Kate Long



... that was the point at which I should''ve put my foot down. Stamped it hard. Stopped the past repeating itself. But what did I do? I did what Mum used to do in times of crisis. I left the room and went to put the kettle on.

?


Vicky is a reluctant curate''s wife, struggling to come to terms with her own bereavement and her husband''s new-found faith. Then, one Boxing Day, a knock on the door brings her annoying big brother, his teenage son and a cello into her life, turning her world upside down.


With her small terrace house in Penge now fit to burst, Vicky struggles to manage her three children and the joys of everyday family life. As a new threat lurks behind every corner, hope appears in the most unlikely of circumstances.


An enchanting, funny, sad yet bittersweet tale of life and living, one that reminds us it''s not a race at all... but a journey.
