As a dedicated counsellor, Debra never fails to accomplish everything on her to-do list. Except for this one time when she chooses to meet her sister’s needs ahead of work demands, and the results are catastrophic.
In a haze of grief and confusion (and possibly one too many brandies!), she hops on a plane. And it’s only when she leaves Ireland, her job and devoted partner behind that a world of opportunity opens up. She wonders if this could be the beginning of the rest of her life.
A thrilling romance makes her feel young and alive again, as does the joy of discovering a fast track to her dream career. But an unexpected phone call from home forces her into a premature decision. And before long, that fleeting sense of freedom she fell in love with on her travels starts to feel like a distant memory.
Will Debra return to the safety of her comfort zone and the life she once knew? Or can she defy the odds at fifty years old and redesign her future to fulfil her ambition and be the master of her own destiny?
