How The Book Came Into Being
Rosemary explains: “I wanted to write a book about modern families of friends as well as romantic and motherly love. I’m interested in the plight of single mothers and the trials of dating if you have young children.
Polly sees herself as a Renaissance Woman who doesn’t need a man – she’s happy as she is, surrounded by her friends and running her own business. She’d rather be lonely than give up any independence or freedom. This story also explores the dynamics of women’s best friends; and of mothers and daughters.”
