Lucy Dillon, who brought us Lost Dogs and Lonely Hearts,
is back with a new novel, Walking Back to Happiness. The book is due for
release in December and is about widow Juliet whose petsitting job leads her to
new realisations. Read on for the synopsis.
Juliet's been in hiding. From her family, from her life,
but most of all from the fact that Ben's not around anymore.
Her mother Diane can't do anything to help. But, when she insists Juliet look
after her elderly Labrador, it becomes clear that perhaps the dog, Coco, could
help her daughter where she couldn't.
Catching on, her neighbours ask Juliet for help with their pets too. But then
so does Mark, the gorgeous spaniel-owner she meets out dogwalking. And before
she knows it, Juliet realises she's somehow become the town's unofficial
petsitter, and is now privy to all the lives and secrets of everyone whose
animals she's caring for.
But as her first winter alone approaches, she finally begins to wonder if it's
time to face up to her own secrets? To start rebuilding her own life? And maybe
- just maybe - to fall in love again?
