About the author
Jessica Redland
61 books1,146 followersI was born in Teesside but now live in Scarborough on the stunning North Yorkshire Coast. My home inspired the creation of the fictional seaside town of Whitsborough Bay where I set many of my books although the Hedgehog Hollow series takes readers to a gorgeous new countryside setting in the Yorkshire Wolds.
I live with my husband, our teenage daughter and sprocker spaniel, Ella. I'm a self-confessed stationery addict with a ridiculously large collection of notepads who loves chocolate (although it doesn't love me), hedgehogs, 80s music, collectible teddy bears and lighthouses.
Other than a career detour into retail to set up and run my own teddy bear shop (the inspiration for novel Bear With Me), I've always worked in HR, specialising in resourcing, coaching and L&D. Writing always had to take a back seat to the day job until June 2020 when I left the world of HR to become a full-time author. I'm so very grateful to anyone who has bought or borrowed my books in whatever format, helping me fulfil a long-held dream of writing full-time. I still can't believe I get to spend every day chatting to my fictional friends and making stuff up.

Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
Another beautiful, inspiring, emotional read from this wonderful author.
Let’s just start with the title and cover. The cover is gorgeous and the title is so inspiring on its on.
Five years after loosing her husband, Yvonne is at a crossroads in her life. Feeling down and despondent she responds to an ad she sees, a cake and craft group that mets weekly. Could she be brave enough to attend? Could this lead to new friends and some new adventures?
Although there is an element of grief running through this book and some things that may make you feel a little sad, there is also so much more. There is hope, friendships in some unexpected places, understanding and consideration. There are the chances for romance, new business, new crafts and a whole lot more.
I couldn’t tell you my favourite character as they all resonated with me. There are a couple of pets who also have larger than life personalities and are so important to the story.
It’s like a warm hug in a book, you won’t want to put it down, but you also want your journey with these characters to last as long as possible.
I love how we touched on the lives of some of the previous characters, checking in with where they are and what they are doing.
I dare anyone to read this and not want to buy a journal at the end of it - once you have read it you will know what I mean. I loved the musical references throughout the book, it added a whole different level to the story.
This author manages to really captivate real life within her stories. It’s not all love and rainbows, it shows real things that so many people will connect with and have been through, but gosh does it show the light at the end of the tunnel, the glimmers of hope that shine through when you give moving on a chance.
An absolute must read from this incredibly talented author.
Thank you NetGalley for this advanced copy for my honest thought.

It’s been five years since Yvonne lost her husband. Since then her life has become lonelier and lonelier. Then one day she sees a sign about a crafting club and decides to join.
This was a lovely heartfelt story about life. It was full of emotion and second chance romance. I loved all the characters and couldn’t wait to find what happened with them. It’s another really good book by this author.
