'A truly moving, uplifting story about love, connection and finding the courage to start over' - Rowan Coleman
'The perfect holiday read' - Josie LLoyd
What are you most afraid of . . . ?
Gemma is terrified of slowing down, because if she does, sheâll have to admit how lonely sheâs felt since losing the love of her life. So she fills her days with work and taking her dog, Bear, to comfort young patients at the local hospital. That's enough, isn't it?
Dan is scared of anyone getting to know the real him. Heâs the life and soul of every party, but heâs certain that if people find out what heâs done, everything will fall apart.
Casey is Danâs twelve year old daughter â though they barely know each other. Sheâs starting four weeks of treatment for a benign tumour, and is scared this summer could be her last.
When Gemma, Dan and Casey meet one scorching July, the connection is instant. Yet theyâre all used to protecting themselves from heartbreak by keeping their distance. Now that fate â and a small, scruffy terrier â have brought them together, can they find the courage to connect?
A story of bravery in all its guises, Eva Carter's Owner of A Lonely Heart is about taking the plunge even when it frightens you â because it's never too late to find the people who make your world make sense.
'Sensitively and beautifully written. This is a book that will stay with you after the last page is turned' - Milly Johnson
