Synopsis

The impact of traumatic childhood experience reverberates into the grown-up world of Frank, Alice and Henry – children from three families suffering the fall-out from their early life.  Frank, a working-class boy abused by his step-father, Alice, physically disabled and frustrated, Henry, the less clever son of wealthy ambitious parents.  From a rundown estate in Eastleigh, a small town in Darlington and an affluent Cotswold home, each character grapples with the life fate has handed them. Until by chance they all come together in adulthood, the repercussions are explosive.  Spanning 30 years the scope of this novel is ambitious and the writing beautifully honed.  Character and sense of place are masterfully achieved.

    With a sentimental tip of a hat to the classic Christmas movie It's A Wonderful Life, Matt is taken on a funny and touching journey through the lives of his friends and his billionaire husband Cal had he not been such a pivotal presence in their lives. 
     
     
     
    Tis the season to be jolly, but romance writer Matt Darcy is feeling anything but festive. With a pile of rejection letters as high as his latest manuscript, Matt is questioning whether his career as an author will ever take off. And while his perfect husband Cal has planned a week-long trip to a mountain chalet for Matt, Mrs. Mulroney, Mr. Banks, Tilly, and Angus—so that everyone can be together and enjoy the lead-up to Christmas—Matt can only hope his feelings of worthlessness and self-doubt won't ruin the trip. 
     
     
     
    But when a bump on the head knocks Matt out and he wakes up miles from the chalet, the journey he must undertake is not a trek through the snow, but an eye-opening insight into the lives of those he loves most if he, Matt Darcy, had never, ever existed. Will Matt let his feelings of uselessness and self-doubt lead him forever into the Forest of Darkness . . . or will this Christmas open his eyes to the magical truth that it is indeed a wonderful life?

    Take one ex-girlfriend, a wilderness adventure, and only one cabin. What could possibly go wrong in this fun second chance lesbian romance? 
     
     
     
    Avery is finally going on the winter excursion to the Yukon she's been planning all year. Dog sledding, ice fishing, the Northern Lights . . . It's going to be amazing! Then her boyfriend dumps her the night before the trip. Worse, she gets paired up with the only other solo traveler in the group: Summer, her ex-girlfriend from high school. 
     
     
     
    Unlike Avery, who has a plan for everything, Summer lives a nomadic life—free, spontaneous, with no time for relationships. There would be no point in rekindling what they had—not when the last time ended so badly. 
     
     
     
    Stuck in a tiny yurt together and forced to partner up for activities, Avery and Summer must find a way to get along. But what if, amidst all that ice and snow, they also discover a flame that was never extinguished?
