What readers have to say…

“I really loved this book! The character development was fantastic, and the detailed description of the scenery made me long to go back to London.”

“You root for Eleanor the whole time. The characters are well described you can almost see it as a movie in your mind. For someone who hasn’t been to London, I almost feel like I have now.”

“Honestly, the best book I have read in years. I didn't really know what to expect at first but after the 1st page I was so hooked and I was reading it every moment I could! The descriptions of the places and characters were so detailed that I genuinely felt as though I had seen the characters and I could picture each and every one of them in so much detail. I finished the book last night and I actually felt a bit sad that I couldn't read it again today!”

“I cannot remember of a chick lit protagonist that was so complex and this is something that really amazed me in this book: how the author manages to deal with some rather delicate issues while writing a story that is absolutely romantic, fun and full of serendipity episodes that will definitely warm your heart.”

A Brave Start

A story of how a 5,000 mile, cross Atlantic trip taught a woman about fate, love, and self discovery.

When life hands you lemons, you’re supposed to make lemonade, right? What do you do when you don’t like lemonade? For Eleanor Gordon, nothing seemed to work out as expected.

Instead of lemonade, she opts for a lovely tea, just not in her hometown of Phoenix, Arizona but with a big leap across the pond to London, England.

What happens next seems to be a lovely dream when she finds herself accepted to a prestigious writing program and living in a posh Central London flat. Eleanor encounters new friends and new places around London, meets a handsome and wealthy friend of her cousin and literally bumps into her movie star crush. Is London a dream come true? Or the start of another round of happy times leading to sad endings?

Her journey doesn’t just come with London sightseeing, she’s on the road to understanding not only who to love, but how to finally put to rest trauma from the past and learn to trust herself again.
