Skelsea Cross

Perfect for fans of Heidi Swain, Cathy Bramley and Jessica Redland.

Alison has spent years putting everyone else first. But now widowed, fed up with being taken for granted by her daughter and facing unexpected health worries, she realises she’s lost sight of the woman she used to be.

Then her cousin Rosie proposes a daring plan: move back to the coastal village where she grew up, for twelve weeks of 'Project Alison' - prioritising herself, for a change. Alison isn't sure whether to laugh or cry! But the idea of going home to Kelsea Sands, back to the sea and the beautiful, wide Holderness skies, convinces her to take the plunge.

Soon she's on a journey of rediscovery, hastened by the unexpected return of Mac – the boy she once knew, now a handsome man with a complicated past. But then come some shocking revelations. Does Alison have the courage to stand up for herself and finally seize the happiness she deserves?

Heartfelt, uplifting and full of Sharon Booth’s trademark warmth, this is the start of a new series about family, love and second chances set on the East Yorkshire coast.
