For eighteen years, Kate Martin has been a sheltered housewife and mother. Suddenly she finds herself divorced and out on a limb. A lot of role reversal goes on as her three kids watch their usually calm, collected mother turn into a quivering mass of insecurities while coming to terms with her new role of single parent. In many ways Kate has a lot more growing up to do than her kids. She quickly finds that technology in the workplace has passed her by, but by using her wits and newly formed spiritual insights she's able to prove to herself and to her kids that the power of the mind is the technology that matters most. Humorous, thoughtful and inspiring.
Austin Sinclair and Jack Winston grew up together on the poor side of town-one quiet sober and tenacious; the other a reckless charmer always seeking a challenge. And they shared a love for tennis that forged an unlikely bond-and incited a fierce rivalry-between them. Then adult life took them in different directions. Now they are grown men - mature, accomplished and middle-aged. And a chance reunion in a crowded restaurant results in a friendly, fateful invitation to compete once again at Austin's exclusive tennis club. But from the first serve on an impeccable clay court to the final, breathless point of a truly unforgettable match, unresolved resentments and tensions will determine the pace of the play. For every lob and backhand, every point surrendered or won, brings with it serious questions about the past and the choices made. With each set comes potentially explosive revelations about love, money and the nature of competition.

During the Second World War, some three million people were evacuated from British towns and cities due to the danger of German air attacks. Most evacuees were children; many were sent to the countryside but some were sent to Canada, America, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Two of these children were 'Sarah', aged five, and her brother 'James', aged six, who were placed on a ship bound for New York City where they would be assigned to a foster home. A testimony to the resilience of the human spirit and the utter ingenuity of childhood, this heartbreaking tale explores the darker side of the British evacuation during the Second World War and is a testament to youthful resourcefulness and the will to survive.
