About the Author
Amanda Prowse is a multi-million bestselling author who has published more than thirty novels and is one of the most prolific writers of contemporary fiction in the UK today. Crowned ‘the queen of family drama’ by the Daily Mail, she writes about life’s challenges—from heartbreak and loss to dysfunctional family dynamics—but also about the pockets of delight that can be found in our relationships with others, often when we need them most. Amanda is known for her relatable characters, emotionally compelling plots, and the sense of connection that readers feel with her stories. She is an ambassador for The Reading Agency and feels passionately about supporting other women, spending as much time as possible outdoors (preferably by the sea!) and her family.
