IF I LOST YOU

​​

Jo's life is a mess. Her marriage is in trouble, she works in a dead-end job for a horrible boss, and worst of all, her little son George has asthma which is getting worse and worse - nothing seems to help. And his older sister, Molly, is becoming jealous of all the extra attention he gets because of it.  Then, suddenly, Jo's birth mother - a complete stranger to her - turns up. Jo would love a relationship with her, but is she going to help her - or not?

NOT YOUR CHILD

Not Your Child was published on 23 September 2024 by Boldwood Books.

All it takes is one message for Gemma’s life to fall apart.  Jack was supposed to be preparing for their new start in Australia, building their new life together. And now he's gone. Leaving their perfect world – all that their two-year-old daughter, Poppy, knows and cherishes – shattered. Crystal comes into Gemma’s life at the opportune moment. This new friend, who’s been through it before, who knows how it feels for all of your hopes and dreams to suddenly implode, who wants to help, who will do anything. Crystal loves Poppy. And Poppy loves Crystal. The minute they meet it’s as if all of the heartbreak over her dad leaving dissipates. But what starts as a small kernel of jealousy soon grows into a larger sense of unease. Who is this woman who’s so obsessed with her daughter? A powerful and emotional women’s fiction novel about motherhood and friendship.
