A Posy Of Promises by Sharon Dempsey
Ava has been brought up by her grandmother Maggie due to her mother
Scarlett having flown the nest to go to America making her fortune singing.
Ava can’t remember Scarlett but treasures pictures and mementos she finds
when Maggie has to go into a home due to old age. When she is bequeathed
a large rather broken down house she wonders whom her benefactor is.
Add into the mix that after a night on the tiles she finds herself in bed with
the son of her boss, Ava’s life is a little mixed up at the moment having
finished an eight year relationship not so long ago. This is a wonderful
easy read that makes you think about life and not taking things for granted.
Of friendships and relationships that we treasure along the way. Of the
little things that matter and how others or even “things” can have such an
effect on our lives. “The possibilities are endless”. A wonderful,beautifully
written, relaxing read.
