What to expect

Emotionally uplifting, poignant fiction at its best💔 Perfect for the fans of Rowan Coleman, Dani Atkins and Jojo Moyes. 💞💕

One woman's journey to wrestle with her past and find happiness 🗝️

Sarah-Jane Crosse, SJ to her friends, is desperate to avoid going to her parents’ ruby wedding anniversary party. She’s terrified of introducing her new husband, Tom, to her estranged sister, Alison, because the sisters have history. Alison covets everything that belongs to SJ.

With her anxiety spiralling, SJ knows she often has a couple of glasses of wine too many and after a disastrously drunken night she reaches out for help. However, sadly help does not begin at home. Tom is not supportive. Seemingly in denial he misses SJ’s distress calls, and SJ begins to second-guess herself.
Everyone drinks, right?
It's hardly a massive problem?
She’s perfectly fine, isn't she?

Meanwhile, her very supportive best friend, Tania, has a surprising secret and SJ is determined to help her out. But navigating through this lot isn’t easy.

With the help of an ever-faithful dog, a few reformed characters, and a lot of self-reflection and home truths, the future is looking a whole lot brighter for SJ and the statistics speak for themselves - she is one in a million...

A moving, heart-rending and uplifting novel of love, hope and self-renewal.
