Welcome to Spring Hill, home to a square of independent shops and cafes, a thriving local community and nearby the newest venture, Ray’s Diner. Here a group of women meet once a week over a cup of something warming.
Amanda is primary carer to her elderly mother and one of the only women in a male-dominated company. Used to being second-best all her life, is this her time to finally break ranks and shine?
Sky works at the repair shop, patching up old teddy bears, and their owners’ hearts. But her heart beats for the one man who is strictly off-limits.
Mel has been a loyal and loving wife to Steve for thirty years. Then when he goes to his old school reunion, life as she knows it will never be the same again.
Erin is trying to get over a traumatic loss where her guilt weighs more than her grief. Can she find the first step to healing lies in sharing an hour with strangers once a week?
Astrid is feeling in need of a change and a challenge. But when a fantastic opportunity presents itself, who is around to convince her she is worthy enough to take the risk?
Can these women find the answers to their worries, acceptance, courage, support here? Join them at the same time next week to find out…
Milly Johnson is back with a refreshing novel full of community spirit and a new solid supportive friendship group I am in awe of.
We are introduced to a host of wonderful women who are all at a mid point in their lives where big changes are being faced and decisions need to be made and at such a daunting time they have each other to lean on and be a listening ear.
There isn’t a single character who takes centre stage in this book each of them take a big chunk of the focus and this worked really well because it kept the pace of the storyline moving because there was always a new step forward or at times backwards for each of the women and I was so invested in them all and I was eager to jump in the pages and be a part of their group as they help each other navigate, health, relationships, loss and career battles.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story and found it relatable in some respects and uplifting in others.
