A Kind of Family - Paperback

Love...Loss...Hope...

Following the death of her parents, Rachel leans on her brother as her only living relative. Until a message arrives telling her that he's focusing on his family, and she needs to find her own. In her forties, Rachel thinks she's lost her chance at love and the close-knit family she longs for.

Community artist Fran embraces life in a way Rachel's never experienced before. Outgoing Fran is conservative Rachel's complete opposite, but the attraction she feels for Fran both excites and disturbs her.

As Rachel's feelings for Fran deepen, Aggie, who looks and sounds as if she's from 1960's working-class London, enters her life. She takes a special interest in Rachel's relationship with Fran. Who is she and why does she care so much about their relationship?

When tragedy strikes, it's Aggie who helps Rachel find a way forward.

A Kind of Family challenges traditional ideas of what constitutes family.

It explores the raw emotions of grief and finds hope in the connections that help us to heal.
