England 1921. For fifty handicapped veterans left without home or job after WW1, the only person standing between them and utter destitution is Olivia Altringham. Lacking sufficient funds and a support network, Olivia has managed to keep her veteran's programme running by sheer determination and force of personality. Now, a soldier she had an affair with during the war has suddenly reappeared in her life, forcing her to re-examine their time together and how she ended their affair. At the same time, mysterious and deadly events unfold on the estate that threaten to unbalance the safe environment she has created for her handicapped charges. The times, and circumstances, are rapidly changing and Olivia realises she must change with them -- or risk going under completely. 🔔 #1 in Historic Fiction May 2020 🔔 Featured on the Wattpad Hidden Gems list May/June 2020 🔔 1st place in the Jelsa Awards 2019 🔔 1st place in the One Million Project Awards 2018 in the category Historic/General fiction. 🔔 1st place in the Asteria Awards 2018 in the category of Historical Fiction 🔔 1st place in the Rise Awards 2018 in the category of Historical Fiction

What happens after we die? When a woman wakes up in seemingly the middle of nowhere with no recollection of who she is or how she got there, she'd soon discover that she has been brought to the Afterlife; a place similar to Earth, but much larger and full of all who have passed. But while she's there, her body back in the world of the living is struggling to be kept alive while in a coma. Now she has to make a decision; stay 'asleep' and start her time in the afterlife, or wake up and go back to the life she doesn't remember with all the troubles she left.

What happens when you experience something that brings into question all you know about the world in which you live? Something that eats away at the already-frayed notions many of us have about what is true and what is not true? About what is possible and what is impossible? For Alice Caitlyn (Kate Johnson what was), the past year already had delivered a healthy dose of body blows. One would have thought a chance encounter with a handsome schoolmate from years gone by would have augured well for things to come. But when was Fate ever so easy or so generous? This is a story about the world in which we live and how we come to know it and to understand it. It's a story about chance and circumstance, one that might even be a little funny. (But let's not get too carried away on that note.) Most important, it's a story about friendship and love, those two states the absence of which make life and its vagaries scarce worth pondering.
