The Near Miss, Paperback

Descriere

At the scene of an accident, three strangers are thrown together on a heartfelt, comic journey that will change all their lives. Grace wants another baby, but she's weighed down by debt, a manic four-year-old and her jobless inventor husband. Eddy analyses risk for a living, but an excess of caution has brought his own life to a halt. And Melody has left the commune to raise her son Skip in the city, while trying to stay true to her hippie lifestyle. This is a novel about real life aspirations, and whether you can chase your dreams at the same time as raising children and paying the bills. It's about friendship, and how the people you meet in a moment, can alter your life forever. Novelist Fran Cusworth is the author of The Love Child, Hopetoun Wives and Sisters of Spicefield. She lives in Melbourne with her family.
