Onwards and Upwards

The BRAND NEW feel-good read from TOP TEN bestselling author Celia Anderson

Ingrid is desperate to sell up and move on. Recently widowed, she no longer needs the large house or the treasures (and tat) collected by her late husband, Tommy, an auctioneer. Then there's the debt he left her with, too.

So, she jumps at the chance to downsize and move to Willowbrook on a temporary lease. She'll open a pop-up shop for just one year - to dispose of Tommy's accumulated goods - and then move on. No getting embroiled in village life.

But Ingrid hasn't reckoned on Willowbrook's extrovert local ladies (known as the Saga Louts). Or handsome local craftsman Joel, with whom there's a definite attraction. They all want to help set up 'The Treasure Trove'.

Surprisingly, it turns out Ingrid can also help them.

Will she ever achieve the fresh start and simpler life she craved? Or will Ingrid discover a wonderful new way to move onwards and upwards?

Fans of Milly Johnson, Maddy Please or Judy Leigh will love Celia Anderson's uplifting and romantic stories.
