'One of those books that makes you feel good about being alive!'In
the imposing Glen Carrick House overlooking Scotland's famous Loch
Ness, lives eighty-eight-year-old Mimi McKinlay, cared for by her
three adult sons. Hamish has inherited his mother's musical
talents, Fin is the responsible brother, and Angus has the
complicated and brooding personality to match his dashing good
looks. But what all the brothers share is a concern that their
beloved mother is living in her memories of her days on stage,
while letting her present days pass her by. Jess Oliver is at a
turning point. Amicably divorced after years of being married, this
trip to the Highlands is a first taste of independence. It isn't
long before the beauty and hospitality of Scotland captures her
heart. When Mimi and Jess's paths cross, a friendship is formed
that will change both women's lives. And as together they find ways
to look forward instead of to the past, long forgotten dreams are
within reach, and every new day is fresh with possibilities. Take a
trip to the Highlands with Judy Leigh for an unforgettable story of
glorious pasts and fabulous futures, of love, friendship, family
and fun. The perfect feel-good novel for all fans of Dawn French,
Dee Macdonald and Cathy Hopkins. Readers love Judy Leigh: 'This
book, like its main character Mimi, exudes a certain joie de vivre
feeling as you turn the pages. Highly emotional in places but heart
warming and uplifting. Highly recommended.' Jennifer Bohnet 'Loved
this from cover to cover, pity I can only give this 5 stars as it
deserves far more.' 'The story's simply wonderful, the theme of
second chances will resonate whatever your age, there's something
for everyone among the characters, and I do defy anyone not to have
a tear in their eye at the perfect ending.' 'With brilliant
characters and hilarious antics, this is definitely a cosy read
you'll not want to miss.' 'A lovely read of how life doesn't just
end because your getting old.' 'A great feel-good and fun story
that made me laugh and root for the characters.' Praise for Judy
Leigh: 'Brilliantly funny, emotional and uplifting' Miranda

All NEW from Alison Sherlock and her bestselling Riverside Lane
Series Molly Hopkins has happily watched all of her friends' dreams
come true on Riverside Lane. Deciding to follow her passion for
baking, Molly with the help of her friends takes the plunge and
opens a Tea Garden in the village hoping to make it a summer to
remember! Meanwhile, after a rather public end of his marriage,
Logan Armstrong trusts no one but his beloved Grandad. He just
wants his brief stay in Cranbridge to be as quiet as possible. But
his Grandad has other ideas; he dreams of seeing the old watermill
working again which might just mean Logan has to ask the village
for help. Can Molly finally overcome her lack of confidence and
believe in her abilities to make the tea garden a success? Will
Logan discover that Molly might just be the one to mend his broken
heart? And will both of them realise that life is for living and
loving? Over a long hot summer in Cranbridge, perhaps everyone's
dreams of a happy-ever-after can finally come true.
Choosing whom to date - and ultimately finding true love - is one
of the most important decisions you will ever make. This book is a
terrific tool for making your dating life manageable, meaningful,
and marketable. Les hits upon the key to a successful dating
relationship: That no person can meet all of another person's
needs, and that people must have their ultimate needs met in
relationship with God.
