Overview

A debut novel about one woman's life shaken up, and the lessons she learns in putting back together the piecesJill Beech's nine-year relationship is over. She swaps one so-so job for another. She gets tipsy with off-beat friends. She internet dates. Feeling stuck, life is suddenly flipped on its head by some shocking news—she has cervical cancer. A simple operation to remove part of her cervix becomes a two-week hospital stay with Jill refusing to speak, such is the depth of her shock. But how can Jill recover her life? A kitten called Cyril? A handsome man by the name of Roy? Nights out with weird and wonderful friends? Jill wonders—is she really better? What if Roy wants kids and she can't have them? And how can she truly be happy? She may have a happy-ever-after, she may not; but Jill has a lesson to teach us—once you master the art of falling, rolling with life's punches becomes so much easier.
