Willow is having quite the year

One moment she’s checking off life’s milestones – the steady partner, the successful career, the grown-up house – the next she isn’t, questioning where it all went wrong.

With her life transformed beyond recognition, and friends busy ‘moving forwards’, Willow has never felt more alone.

But she’s in good company.

And when inspiration arrives from an unlikely place – opening Willow’s eyes to a new way of living – she rekindles the most important relationship of all: the one with herself …
