Second Chances:
In the quiet of a Napier, New Zealand winter’s night, the rescue helicopter is sent to airlift a five-year-old boy with severe internal injuries. He’s fallen from the upstairs verandah of an isolated farmhouse, and may not last the next few hours. At first, Finn’s fall looks like a horrible accident; after all, he’s prone to sleepwalking. Only his frantic mother, Martha McNamara, knows how it really happened. And she isn’t telling. Not yet. Maybe not ever. Martha only wants the best for her family. That’s why she moved heaven and earth to move them to the other side of the world, to start their lives afresh. And now she’s faced with decisions she never dreamed she’d have to make, decisions with potentially devastating consequences. She’s torn between her loyalty to her family and her need to protect them. What do you do when your dream escape turns into a nightmare – and is there ever a way back? Gripping, emotional and intelligent, this is a book you won’t be able to put down.
The Son-in-Law:
For three years Joseph Scott has been haunted by one moment-the moment that changed his life forever. Now he is starting over, and he wants his family back more than anything. This is the story of Joseph and his wife, Zoe; of their children, Scarlet, Theo and Ben, for whom nothing will be the same; and of Zoe’s parents, who can’t forgive or understand. A compelling, moving and ultimately optimistic story of one man who will do almost anything to be reunited with his children. And of the grandparents who are determined to stop him. Praise for Freeing Grace: ‘An absorbing examination of fraught family dynamics and complex social issues . . . will appeal to devotees of Joanna Trollope and Jodi Picoult . . . Charity Norman has put down the clearest of markers that she is hot on their heels.’ Daily Mail Praise for Second Chances: ‘ . . . emotionally astute, Norman writes with razor sharp perception and deep compassion.’ Meredith Jaffe, the hoopla.
Freeing Grace:
A tender and thought-provoking story exploring the sacrifices we make for family and what it takes to be a good parent. Grace’s teenage mother dies shortly after giving birth and the perfect adoptive parents are found for her: David, the curate of an inner-city parish, and his wife Leila, who are unable to have children of their own.What they don’t count on is Matt Harrison, Grace’s shell-shocked young father who falls in love with his daughter and fights to keep her. The Harrisons are an unconventional family who see in Grace a chance for redemption. To convince the courts of their suitability will require a commitment from Matt’s mother to return from Africa to her unhappy marriage. The Harrisons enlist their friend, the feckless, charming Jake Kelly, to retrieve her and he sets off on a quest that will force a confrontation. Ultimately, there are terrible decisions to be made about Grace’s fate. Everyone only wants what’s best for her – but who can say exactly what that is?
The Secret Life of Luke Livingstone:
- Girl meets boy. They fall in love, and they marry.
For thirty years they share one another’s lives.
That should have been the end of the story.
Luke Livingstone is a lucky man. He’s a father and grandfather, a respected solicitor, a pillar of the community. He has a loving wife in Eilish, children who adore him and an idyllic home in the Oxfordshire countryside. But Luke is struggling with an unbearable secret, one that is close to destroying him. All his life, Luke has hidden the truth about himself – a truth so fundamental that it will shatter his family, rock his community and leave him an outcast. Luke has nowhere left to run. He must either end his life, or become the woman he knows himself to be – whatever the cost. His family is tested to its limits, as each of them is forced to consider what makes a person essentially themselves. What do you do when you find that your husband – your father, your son – is not who you thought? Can you ever love him again? A beautiful and dramatic portrayal of a family in turmoil.
