Synopsis

Because we all need something to smile about! ‘Uplifting and empowering…a story about friendship, love and finding the bright side of life’ Debbie Johnson Readers love : Nine years ago, Zoe Taylor returned from London to the quiet hamlet of Westholme with her tail between her legs and a bun in the oven. Where once her job as a journalist saw her tearing off to Paris at a moment’s notice after a lead, now the single mum covers the local news desk. At least, she did…until she’s unceremoniously let go. When Zoe invites her friends over to commiserate, wine and whining soon turns into something more… and before the night is out she’s plotted her next step: T. Now, as a developer threatens to force Westholme into the twenty-first century, Zoe’s good news movement finds her leading a covert campaign as a community crusader. She may have started as a way to save herself, but she might just be able to save Westholme in the process… ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘A , lighthearted novel…I loved it!’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘ This was heart-warming and uplifting, and one of those fun reads where you just don't want to put it down!!’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘A good, story that I loved reading’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Really heart-warming and uplifting…’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘…The sense of community and friendship that runs throughout is just lovely!!!’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Just the book I needed at the moment…’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘!! Real curl up on the sofa stuff!’
