After Polly ends her relationship with the father of her young son, Louis, she is determined to move on. All she wants is to focus on her job, her friends and to be a good mum. No more looking over her shoulder. No more complications… Then Polly meets Ben. Ben is guardian to his niece, Emily. They become close, with Polly teaching Ben how to plait Emily’s hair and Ben playing football with Louis. Their friendship is unexpected. Polly has never been happier. But just as Polly thinks her life may be turning around, the unthinkable happens. When her new life balances on a knife edge, will she be able to stay strong for one more time? And give herself, as well as her son, a chance at a new life?
Alice Peterson has published two non-fiction books and 11 critically-acclaimed novels. She is drawn to writing about people who face adversity, and deal with it through friendship, love and community, inspired by her own experience of a professional tennis career cut short at the age of 18 by illness.
