The Woman Who Got Her Spark Back: Discover the emotional and relatable read by Fiona Gibson

Preorder the BRAND NEW hilarious, feel-good read from #1 bestselling author Fiona Gibson Is it ever too late to bloom?

Meet Celia. Life hasn’t worked out quite how she’d planned.

Since her son left for university, Celia has felt stuck at home – battling with her husband Geoff over control of the thermostat, and without the merest glint of a social life. Her only joy comes from the plants she nurtures in her makeshift plant hospital in their Glasgow flat.

Then three unexpected things happen:

1. She catches Geoff in bed with a secretary from his sausage factory (no pun intended). 2. Her high-flying best friend Amanda arrives on her doorstep without warning (but with a very large suitcase). 3. A tall handsome French teacher asks her to tend his daughter’s cactus back to health. Suddenly, Celia finds her life in freefall, but she makes a decision: she won’t let this be the end of her. She’ll bring herself back to life, just like the plants she works her magic on. But just how do you change the habits of a lifetime?
