'Written with such love and heart. Sarah has done an exceptional
job of marrying her trademark comedy with deep and raw emotion. I
loved it!' GIOVANNA FLETCHER FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING
AUTHOR OF THE UNMUMSY MUM Beth has never stuck at anything. She's
quit more jobs and relationships than she can remember and she
still sleeps in her childhood bedroom. It's not that she hasn't
tried to grow up, it's just that so far, the only commitment she's
held down is Friday drinks at the village pub. Then, in the space
of a morning, her world changes. An unspeakable tragedy turns
Beth's life upside down, and she finds herself guardian to her
teenage niece and toddler nephew, catapulted into an unfamiliar
world of bedtime stories, parents' evenings and cuddly elephants.
Having never been responsible for anyone - or anything - it's not
long before she feels seriously out of her depth. What if she's
simply not up to the job? With a little help from her best friend
Jory (purely platonic, of course ...) and her lovely, lonely
next-door neighbour, Albert, Beth is determined that this time
she's not giving up. It's time to step up. This is a story about
digging deep for strength you never knew you had and finding magic
in things that were there all along. 'STEPPING UP is a
heart-blasting triumph of a novel - wise, witty and wonderfully
human.' Isabelle Broom 'Stop EVERYTHING and read this! Funny,
tender and beautifully observed. Loved, loved, LOVED it!' Cathy
Bramley 'A moving and beautifully-told tale of parenthood but not
as you know it. I just loved it.' Gillian McAllister Early readers

less, crying and laughing. This book is a tonic! I read it in one

emotional rollercoaster to keep you turning the pages. . .Perfect
for curling up with; perfect for a bedtime read; perfect for a book
group; just perfect.' ***** 'This book needs all the stars! It made
me laugh, it made me cry and I just want to start it all over
again.' ***** 'Funny, heartbreaking and totally relatable, it makes
you feel all the feels!'
