What to expect

Full of romance and humour, this is a book about fresh starts, friendship and the unexpected places we find happiness.

‘I love getting lost in a Jules Wake book!’ Debbie Johnson, bestselling author of the Comfort Food Cafe series

This is the story of two women.
One old, one young.
One looking for new adventures. One looking for a purpose.
Both needing a friend.

And this is how, along with two little girls in need of a family, a gorgeous stranger, and a scruffy dog, they bring the whole community together every Saturday morning for love, laughter and a little bit of running…(well, power walking).

Some people come into your life when you need them the most.
