Synopsis

Two feisty females move to the seaside.
At last, a life of fun with candy floss, penny arcades, fish 'n' chips, and ice-creams.
Even the scary seagulls will not stop them.
Pam and Martha are outwardly mature, but the rebellious teenager is close to the surface. Walking on the tightrope between sensible and sassy is a tricky balancing act.
Pam is not ready to abdicate her title of Party Queen.
Martha is carrying a weight on her shoulders which is agonizing.
Pam shares a thought about their flight to the fresh air by the shore -
"We carry all our baggage with us, and they're even heavier than my rucksack."
Martha cannot resist: "Nothing's heavier than your rucksack!"
Walks along the coast revitalise and reawaken feelings buried long ago.
The beach is filled with pebbles and framed by brightly coloured designs -
"Come on Maeve, let's go and look at the Beach Hutches!" says Pam.
"No, Aunty Pam, they are called Beach Huts."
"I know," said Pam, "but it sounds more fun, don't you think?"
The breeze blows away a few of the cobwebs but the tide times change.
As the clocks go back the portrait of the sun set is mesmerising.

Beth Moran

From No. 1 bestselling author Beth Moran comes a story about family, friendship and community.
Sometimes when you can’t see the way forwards, the best thing to do is to look back...
When Jessie left home at eighteen, she swore she’d never go back. But when life takes a turn for the complicated, she’s forced to move in with her twin, Isaac, and his two best friends. To her dismay, one of these is Elliot, the boy Jessie once loved, until his life was changed forever by a terrible accident that Jessie still blames herself for.
Cohabiting with three alarmingly unhouse-trained males was not in Jessie’s life plan so when Isaac, Elliot and Arthur offer her a generous rent discount if she’ll help them with their ‘Boys to Men Project’, designed to end years of disastrous dating, she reluctantly accepts the challenge.
As Jessie embraces the comfort of being home, revelling in her new job at her parents’ day centre full of people determined to grow old disgracefully, she realises her housemates aren’t the only ones needing to make some changes. And maybe, if she can finally forgive herself for Elliot’s accident, she can start to look forward to a future, with or without him by her side.

Joy

Danielle Steel

In this deeply moving novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel, a determined young woman must survive a series of abandonments to find a love that is worthy of her.

When she is only six years old, Allegra Dixon’s party-loving mother leaves without so much as a goodbye. Her father, an emotionally distant military officer, is also unable—or unwilling—to care for her. Sent to live like a ghost in her grandparents’ joyless home, Allegra finds her only solace through an escape into books.

Attending boarding school, life finally takes a turn when she meets a dashing young West Point cadet named Shep Williams. Soon their friendship blossoms into something more, and they fall deeply in love.

After college, Allegra has established herself as a book editor and Shep is rising through the ranks of the military. But then Shep suddenly receives a posting to Afghanistan, and they decide to marry before he goes. Between his deployments, they cling to their brief and fraught stolen moments together. Each time he leaves, Shep promises the separations will soon come to an end.

But soon Allegra realizes that the horrors of war have begun to change her husband into a man she no longer recognizes. The trauma he has experienced proves to be too harrowing, and Allegra will find herself feeling utterly alone again just when she thought she’d finally found happiness.

In her new novel, Danielle Steel tells the unforgettable story of a woman who refuses to give up until she finds the joy she deserves.
