ABOUT THE BOOK

Cassie Lewis, a widow for over 20 years has begun to realise there must be more to life.

In-between working at the family boatyard in picture perfect Dartmouth and raising two children, she wonders where the years have gone.

Both her children, Tom and Polly, have inherited their father’s love of sailing and currently Tom is preparing for a gruelling round the world race. When an accident forces Tom to pull out, Polly, to Cassie’s horror, insists she is capable of taking his place.

As Polly prepares for the race, Cassie unexpectedly finds herself with two keen and eligible men vying for her love.

With her BIG 5-0 birthday approaching Cassie knows she has some big decisions to make but will the worry over Polly’s safe return, cloud her judgement?

MY THOUGHTS

It’s been over 20 years since her husband passed away. Cassie is running a boatyard and keeping up with her two children have given her plenty to do but she’s had a reawakening and feels like it’s time to start devoting some time to herself now that her fiftieth birthday is right around the corner.

Both of her children have inherited their father’s love of sailing and Tom is about to do one last sailing race around the world before retiring from sailing and welcoming his first child.

Before that can happen, a freak accident sidelines him and he’s unable to compete. Polly, his sister insists on taking over the racing though she’s less experienced.

We see some highs and lows in the story that can be a bit emotional at times.
Fun relaxation read. I love how the author turns ordinary characters into ones you’d enjoy spending time with as they sound so relatable.

I was given a complimentary copy of this book.
