Is it ever too late to choose a new life?

When her domineering mother dies, Elise sees a chance to finally escape the life she’s been living. Sorting through her mother’s belongings, she discovers a set of delicate sketchbooks that once belonged to a long-lost relative – a woman who travelled through Italy decades before. Drawn by the mystery, Elise sets off on a journey her mother never would have approved of. But who was this woman from the past and why was her story hidden for so long?

Taking early retirement to travel around Europe in a campervan has been Nuala’s long-held dream. But when her husband, Paul, announces he’s leaving her for another woman just as they should be setting off together, Nuala faces an impossible choice: abandon the dreams she’s waited years for – or go it alone.

At fifty-two, Laurie feels utterly lost. Fed up with her job, her children flown from the nest and her marriage reduced to silence, she knows something has to change. Booking a yoga retreat in Tenerife, she plucks up the courage to travel solo. But, when she meets Santi, a young Spaniard who unsettles her in unexpected ways, Laurie begins to wonder if this adventure might be more than she’s ready for.

From the winding streets of Florence to the sunny shores of Tenerife, join Elise, Nuala and Laurie as they face their fears, find courage, and decide how much they are willing to risk for a second chance at happiness.
