Every family has it’s problems – Julie Gillis collects them. She’s used to telling the readers of her agony column what to do, but somehow she’s missed the warning signs at home.

A loving mother and a good wife, she is shattered when her husband Leo walks out, leaving her to bring up two teenagers and a small daughter alone. But even tougher times lie ahead – and Julie’s going to need all she’s got to keep her family together and start again.

With her trademark insight, Jacquelyn Mitchard delicately unravels the complications of human emotion within a story that is compelling as it is inspiring.
