SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO MAKE YOUR OWN LUCK...

Viola hasn't had much luck with men. Her first husband, Marco, companion of her youth and father of her only child, left her when he realised he was gay.

Her second, Rhys, ended his high-octane, fame-filled life by driving his Porsche into a wall. No wonder her family always believes she needs looking after, and her friends think she really shouldn't be allowed out on her own. Which is why, at the age of thirty-five, she finds herself back at home, living with Mum.

Viola knows she has to take charge, and fast.

With a stroppy teenage daughter, a demanding mother, and siblings who want to control her life for her, where is she going to turn?
