Wonderful You is a funny, poignant story about the disintegration
and salvation of a modern marriage, and the pressures of trying to
have it all. Sometimes life has a way of not working out quite the
way you planned. Andrew Shaw's childhood ambition did not involve
discussing the best way to give a red setter a makeover on daytime
television. Coming home in the evening to virtual strangers, Andrew
realises that his children are growing up without him. Desperate to
reach out to his family, but unsure how to start, his life seems to
be slipping away from him. Catherine Shaw made the impossible
choice between her children and her career. At work she could
handle the deadlines, the pressure and the endless demands without
pausing for breath. So why is she finding it so hard to coax a
truculent toddler into pyjamas and remember which stuffed toy is
the one called Duncan? Under pressure to be the perfect wife and
mother, yet feeling that she is failing at both, Catherine begins
to search for new meaning in her life. Trapped in their marriage,
their lives and their lies, Andrew and Catherine begin to realise
that the answer to all their problems could be right in front of
them. Wonderful You is a touching, witty and hopeful story about
change, reconciliation and realising that everything you want might
be everything you already have.
