Learning to move on
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Frances Brooklyn has just lost her beloved husband Stephen to a heart attack, and she is adrift in the world trying to cope. Her sister-in-law Zoe, her niece Tabitha, and her adopted son Henry are all there for her, but Stephen - the memory of Stephen - consumes her. Near the end she meets a nice man named Morris, which just might develop into something, but more importantly Frances no longer has the need to dwell in the past. The future beckons. A quietly captivating, well-written novel.
