Someone Else's Truth: A story of misunderstanding, kindness and reconciliation

Westbay #3

by Janet Pywell

Jane vows she will never spend another Christmas alone. As she faces the year ahead, she’s determined to focus on her business. She’s a busy shopkeeper making exclusive jewellery from her shop in Harbour Street in the pretty town of Westbay. But after an online dating disaster, she bumps into a charming and much younger man and makes a rash decision that has significant repercussions…

After the tragic loss of his wife four years ago, Tommy has become the local catch. But when his estranged sister’s daughter, Shelley, comes to stay, Tommy isn’t prepared for her easy-going charm or the chaos she brings to his home…

“Hundreds of words that could have been said have been eroded with time. Time that never came back and truth that remained unsaid.”

Reviews

[MGB · Rating 4 out of 5]

The author really dives into her favorite characters in Westbay. There is a big moral to this story - talk, don't assume. Too many people led themselves in the wrong direction because they are not communicating. We get to follow the lives of the people of Westbay as they go about their normal day, interrupted by unexpected events.

Beyond that it really is a pleasant story in the small world that is Westbay. If you always wondered how people can deceive themselves, this gives some perfect examples. Also excellent examples of how to recover from this misconceptions.
