An heartwarming and life-affirming novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Saving Missy
Beth Morrey was inspired to write her debut novel, Saving Missy,
while pushing a pram around her local park during maternity leave.
Getting to know the community of dog owners, joggers, neighbours
and families, she began to sow the seeds of a novel about a woman
saved by the people around her, strangers who became friends.
Previously Creative Director at RDF Television, Beth now writes
full time. She was previously shortlisted for the Grazia-Orange
First Chapter award, and had her work published in the Cambridge
and Oxford May Anthologies while at university.
Beth lives in London with her husband, two sons and a dog named
Polly.
