Synopses

For Better, For Worse

Josie Flynn travels to New York for the wedding of her American cousin, Martha. Fresh from a messy divorce, she is not in the mood to celebrate, particularly as she believes Martha is about to marry the wrong man. Josie is prepared to say exactly what she thinks.

A Place to Call Home

In the middle of the night, Ayesha leaves home with her daughter, Sabina, escaping a life marked by pain. She boards a coach to London, focused on finding a fresh start. Hayden, a former popstar, has lived out of sight for years.

Sunny Days and Sea Breezes

Jodie Jackson is on a ferry to the Isle of Wight, leaving behind her London life, her career and her husband. She wishes she could turn back time, but for now she is looking for peace and quiet. Her destination is her brother Bill’s renovated houseboat, Sunny Days.

More to Life Than This

Kate Lewis is thirty-five and feeling restless. Tired of worrying about the ironing, she wants her husband, Jeffrey, to give her more attention than his golf clubs. She cannot shake the feeling that there must be more to life than this.
