Laura is watching the world go by without her. Unable to leave her
house since suffering a trauma, Laura is stuck gazing out of her
window at Willow Crescent, relying on husband Jim and best friend
Debbie for help. Then one day, Jim doesn’t come home. A day
becomes two, days become a week, and still no sign of Jim. And with
the police half-hearted in their efforts to look for him, Laura is
forced into a decision. She’s going to have to face the world
outside and find her husband herself. But what Laura hasn’t
realised is that Willow Crescent is a community, eager to help.
From Arthur and Carol next door ready to rally the neighbours, to
Marjorie and her daughter Faye at number nine looking for their own
reasons to engage with the world. From Sonja at number seven who
thinks she may have seen Jim in London, to widower Ben at number
four who understands all about being lonely. Laura has a world
ready to embrace her if she can just find the nerve. And when it
slowly dawns on them all, that the Jim they thought they knew, may
have been hiding some unfathomable secrets, Laura has a choice –
retreat back behind her window, or start living the life that was
waiting for her all along. This is Clare Swatman's tour de force.
At the same time emotional, uplifting, page-turning and
breath-taking, Laura is a character you will never forget. Praise

Swatman. Warm, romantic and wonderfully written, it's an emotional

just upped and disappeared. Twenty-five years later Will is back.
Is fate trying to give them a second chance? Still nursing the
