Widow on the World

"The fragrance of freshly ground coffee was all around us, and everything seemed just as it should be. That all wasn't as it should be was becoming increasingly clear. I couldn't believe the world, as I knew it, was about to fall apart around my ears for the second time in twelve short months. Could life really be that unfair?"

It seemed that it could.

Widowed at 45, Denise has come to the end of that first year alone and survived. it's time to get back,out in the world and live her life. However, life, and particularly her own family, seem to have other ideas as first her mother and then her daughter move into a house that is suddenly bursting at the seams.

A battle of wills ensues, but it is a battle that Denise is determined to win by fair means or foul, because only when she has sorted everyone else's lives out can she finally get on with her own.

Romance doesn't figure anywhere in her calculations but Denise, of all people, should know that life doesn't always go to plan.
