Onwards and Upwards
Celia Anderson
The BRAND NEW feel-good read from TOP TEN bestselling author Celia Anderson
A laugh-out-loud story of fun and friendship for women of a certain age. She's getting rid of old baggage and looking forward to a new lease of life!
Ingrid is desperate to sell up and move on. She no longer needs the large house or the treasures (and tat) collected by her late husband, Tommy, an auctioneer. Then there’s the debt he left her with, too.
So, she jumps at the chance to downsize and move to the beautiful village of Willowbrook on a temporary lease. She’ll open a pop-up shop for just one year – to dispose of Tommy’s accumulated goods – and then move on. No getting embroiled in village life.
But Ingrid hasn’t reckoned on Willowbrook’s extrovert local ladies (known as the Saga Louts). Or handsome local craftsman Joel, with whom there’s a definite attraction. They all want to help set up her shop, ‘The Treasure Trove’.
Surprisingly, it turns out Ingrid can also help them.
Will she ever achieve the fresh start and simpler life she craved? Or will Ingrid discover a wonderful new way to move onwards and upwards?
Fans of Milly Johnson, Maddie Please or Judy Leigh will love Celia Anderson's uplifting, feel-good stories.
