Told in alternate timelines between Cornwall in 1988 and London in 2018, this is a story about the masks we wear, how we go out of our way to change ourselves to please others and how no matter how far we run, and how hard we try to escape ... wherever we go, we take... Continue Reading →
I finally finished giggling long enough to write my review! This author has such a way with words and a particular turn of phrase that I found laugh-out-loud funny. Nora (Eleanora actually, but the only people who call her that are her mother and her stuffy younger sister, Faith) is approaching her 40th birthday. She's... Continue Reading →

They're the women you're familiar with from seeing them pushing a trolley around your local grocery store, or at school pick-up or drop-off times. They're the ones... Continue Reading →
It's launch day for Cultivating a Fuji, and Day One of the blog tour! So it's very exciting to be one of the first people to be able to introduce this very different, but rather beautiful book to the world! So often, it's easy to treat people who are different as just that: different, other,... Continue Reading →
