No Other Choice

Carole thought she knew what the rest of her life would look like… She was wrong.

At almost sixty, Carol Seymour has finally built a life that belongs to her. Ten years after losing her husband, her new career as a children's author is taking off, her son has a family of his own and life feels settled and comfortable – what more could she ask for?

Then a terrible accident changes everything. Suddenly responsible for her young grandchildren, Carol is thrown back into a world of school runs, nappies and endless laundry. With a book deadline looming and her relationship cracking under the pressure, once again Carol is putting everyone else's needs before her own.

When she meets Ed, kind-hearted and caring for his elderly mother with dementia, it's clear he understands exactly what it means to push your own life to the side. What begins as a friendship over dog walks and coffee slowly becomes something neither of them expected to find at this stage of their lives.

But with families depending on them and difficult choices ahead, taking a chance on happiness might be the hardest thing either of them has done. After a lifetime of caring for everyone else, can Carol finally choose the life – and love – she wants for herself?

No Other Choice is a warm and uplifting story about family, responsibility and learning that love can find you at any age, perfect for fans of Milly Johnson and Amanda Prowse.
