Marianne Baker is happy. Sort of. She’s worked at the same job for years (nearly 15, but who’s counting), she lives at home with her mum (who is driving her crazy) and sleeps in a single bed (yep, her love life is stalled). Playing the violin is her only real passion – but nobody like her does that for a living. Then one night everything changes. The father who abandoned Marianne as a child turns up on her doorstep, with a shocking secret that changes her life forever. Suddenly Marianne’s safe, comfortable world is shattered. If her father isn’t the man she thought he was, then who is he? And, more to the point, who is she? It’s time to find out who the real Marianne Baker is.

Dopo un vano tentativo di seduzione nei confronti del marito Max, da cui ultimamente si sente trascurata, Jennifer Wright esce di casa in preda all'agitazione. Deve assolutamente andare dalla sua migliore amica. Indossa solo lingerie e un soprabito, è sconvolta, non presta sufficiente attenzione alla strada e... Viene investita da un'auto. Finisce in coma all'ospedale, e forse era proprio quello che ci voleva per rimettere ordine nei suoi pensieri. Durante il coma, infatti, fa esperienza di come sarebbe stata la sua vita se in passato avesse preso decisioni diverse. Che cosa sarebbe stato di lei se nel 1994 avesse seguito quel gran figo di Aidan in Australia? E se nel 1997 non avesse mollato Tim, genio del computer, che si sarebbe arricchito grazie a una sua invenzione da nerd? E che dire di Steve, il bravo ragazzo, che nella realtà ha lasciato per quello che sarebbe diventato poi suo marito? Tre possibilità fino a quel momento inesplorate che le faranno capire con chiarezza chi è Jennifer Wrigth e che cosa dovrà fare per riconquistare la felicità perduta.

When the truth explodes like a thunderball, can she convince Paul to live and let live rather than live and let die?

Francesca is once again on the verge of a nervous breakdown. . .

The time has come for Miss M to find out a few home truths, for Fran to get her life on track and to win back her Mr Right.
