Love, mess, secrets; this story of four generations of women is filled with Ruth Jones’s warmth and wisdom.’ JOJO MOYES Full of such warmth and kindness, and the writing is utterly beautiful. I adored it * Joanna Cannon * After getting her drama degree and with a lot of experience working in TV and acting, Ruth Jones finally got a job working in radio comedy and TV at BBC Wales.

There is Becca, not academic and knows that her exam results are not going to please her mother. Nothing much will it seems, but finding her true self is much more important and in that she also finds her love for her music.

It was a venue that reminded her of musical performances during her childhood. It was this that paved the way for all manner of acting gigs and TV roles. The end of this story is incredibly moving and brought me to tears (and I have never cried over a book before). Ruth Jones draws you in and tugs on the heartstrings in a beautiful way
