Publisher's summary

A life-affirming story from million-copy bestselling author Amanda Prowse about having it all, losing it all, and how new friends can show each other the way back to happiness.

With kids to look after, an ailing mother and a neglected husband, life is full for Emma Fountain—too full, she realises, when she wakes up in IKEA after falling asleep in one of the show beds. Only her crazy, funny best friend Roz keeps her sane. But when Roz climbs in through her bathroom window one day to deliver terrible news, Emma’s belief that she can find a way around any obstacle crumbles in the face of a problem she just can’t fix.

For recently widowed Thurston, life without his beloved wife of sixty-two years has lost all its joy and sense of purpose. That is until he finds himself driving his niece to work one day and meets Emma, whose busy days are the opposite of his own. As Thurston is drawn into the whirlwind of Emma’s chaotic life, and as his calming influence starts to bring her troubles into perspective, an unlikely friendship grows.

In a world where grief is the price we pay for love, can two very different people realise that the little things in life are precious, that love is all around us, and that, even after all, they might still be very, very lucky?

Another hilarious and heartwarming tale

Amanda Prowse is the queen of the heartwarming family drama. Her characters struggle with the life challenges we all face in ways that show us that grace can always find you through the kindness of others. I've read many of her books and repeatedly say "yes--I've felt exactly that way." Full of humor, compassion, and wisdom, readers are Very Very Lucky to pick up this new offering.

Pulled me in and didn’t let me go

Very beautiful story and brilliantly written. I was anxious and felt overwhelmed when she did. I was overjoyed with the ending. Very relatable. Just read it.

Wonderful artistry supporting a beautiful story

The voice artist (the author?) varied her tone and made the characters come alive. She made me feel with the characters; their pain and sorrow so real to me.

Laugh and cry with each chapter! 

I thought this might be a good "pallet cleansing book". I read 30 to 40 books a year and this book would be in my top three ever! An outstanding book was such a sweet story and the audible production by the author herself is brilliant! Highly recommend!

One of those stories you will come back to over and over again.

I loved it all. The characters, the story line: I laughed, I cried and I had moments I truly connected with. The narration was spot on! This story will stick with me for life.
