Many of us know Beverley Courtney as a skilled dog trainer, effective communicator, and brilliant portrait artist. Her first novel shows that Beverley is also an engaging storyteller of women’s fiction. The characters, dialogue, and plot are relatable, natural, and believable. If this is what she presents for her first novel, I look forward to her future releases. Please read this book; it is filled with fascinating surprises that will help you to believe that changing your life and achieving your dreams are possible despite any obstacles!

Finding ones’ self & starting over
I did like this novel, it was interesting, delving into the world of teaching Drama to children. I enjoyed the strong friendships made, the blossoming of new assertion. I disliked the overly long self narratives of Tabitha blaming herself, questioning herself, beating herself up over failing to surrender, be the subservient, dutiful wife, even in her thoughts! That part got old.
