Life Begins

On top of a recent divorce, and trouble with her twelve-year-old son, the husband of her closest friend has just started to show a bit too much interest in her as a newly-single woman.

But only when Charlotte has faced up to some uncomfortable truths about her past can she finally shed the unhappy skin she's been so comfortable in and open up her life and her heart to all the promise and possibility that her future holds.

Is life, for Charlotte, about to begin at last...?

Perfect for fans of Erica James, Elizabeth Noble, Joanna Trollope and Anita Shreve, this is Amanda Brookfield at her glittering best getting to the heart of what it means to be a woman, a mother, a friend and a lover all without losing sight or yourself.

What readers are saying about Amanda Brookfield:

Ive loved all Amanda Brookfields books and this latest one was excellent too. She writes so well, with insight and natural dialogue.

Such a good read and I would highly recommend. I have not read anything by this author before but will want to from now on. It was one of those books that leave you bereft when its over.

I could read it again, I read it so fast, I couldn't put it down. Very well written. I will definitely read more from this author in the future.

Its hard to describe really how this book made me feel but if someone said to me they had lost their joy of reading I would recommend this book, genuinely a really, really enjoyable at times emotive experience with this family and story.
