About the Book

How do you cope in a world without your mother? When Barbara realizes time is running out, she writes letters to her four daughters, aware they’ll be facing the trials and triumphs of life without her at their side. But how can she leave them when they still have so much growing up to do? Take Lisa, in her mid-thirties but incapable of making a commitment; or Jennifer, trapped in a stale marriage and buttoned up so tight she could burst. While twentysomething Amanda is the traveler, always distanced from the rest of the family. And Hannah. A teenage girl on the verge of womanhood, about to be parted from the mother she adores. But by drawing on the wisdom in Barbara’s letters, the girls might just find a way to cope with her loss. And in coming to terms with their bereavement, can they also set themselves free to enjoy life with all the passion and love each deserves? The bestselling Elizabeth Noble returns with a tale of families, friends … and the glorious, endless possibilities of life.

Review :
Enchantingly clever. I cried, I laughed, I couldn't put it down Her stories strike a genuine chord . . . an irresistible comfort read Honest and beautifully written It would be a hard heart indeed that remained unmoved . . . the tender feelings Noble engenders in her readers are to be cherished Incredibly thought-provoking and poignant This powerful tale packs an emotional punch An emotional rollercoaster A journey through emotionally-charged mother-daughter territory . . . it may just kickstart the practice of letter-writing again Praise for Elizabeth Noble Noble is the mistress of the tearjerking message of love A wonderfully well-written book, full of emotion Deliciously readable Impossible to finish without tears streaming down your face Honest and beautifully written Witty, affectionate and unashamedly tear-jerking Witty, pacy and immediately engaging So fluid, the pages turn themselves Tissues are essential. You'll ricochet between delicately watering eyes at the romance of it all and howling sobs at the unbearable tendernes
