A crowded family life reaches a turning point

Molly’s responsibilities as a wife, mother, playgroup assistant and keeper of a menagerie leave little room for her own ambitions. Attraction to the village headmaster—and the discovery of her husband Jake’s affair with a close friend—bring tensions in her marriage and wider family into view. As upheaval touches her children, parents and friends, Molly faces choices with consequences across those relationships. The novel’s concerns include the pressures of domestic life, infidelity, friendship and the possibility of reshaping one’s sense of direction. This edition was previously published as *Moondancing*.

Book overview

An engaging, totally relatable and feel-good read from TOP TEN bestselling author Celia Anderson

'Celia tells a story with warmth and heart - you'll be rooting for her wonderfully vivid characters, and want them to be your friends too!' Fiona Gibson

Forty-something Molly is starting to realise - with growing horror - that life isn't just passing her by, it has completely gone without her. Her husband, four children and large collection of animals are chaotic and demanding, and her job as a playgroup assistant has lost its power to inspire her.

When temptation strikes and Molly is desperately attracted to the charismatic village headmaster, she is outraged to discover that her husband Jake has beaten her to a fling, and even worse, has done this with one of Molly's closest friends!

With the whole family plunged into turmoil for a variety of reasons, Molly is forced out of her comfort zone to make decisions that will affect her marriage, her children, her parents and her friends. Can she reclaim her life, and learn to love it again as she does so?

This warm, wise and thought-provoking novel is perfect for fans of Milly Johnson, Cathy Bramley and Judy Leigh.
