Time to Take a Chance

An emotional, life-affirming story of strength and hope from Sunday Times bestseller Debbie HowellsThere's an inner strength buried somewhere inside of you, Lizzie. When you find it, it will change your life forever. I wish with all my heart that I was going to be here to see it, but of course here lies the irony: it's only when I've gone that you'll discover it.

Just four days ahead of her wedding, Lizzie Lavender receives a letter her mother wrote for her, a year ago, just before she died.

Shocked into realising life is passing her by, she runs away, heading for the West Country, where she plans to clear her head and reconsider her options.

Fate, however has its own ideas and Lizzie has no idea that a tiny village, two guardian angels and a host of new friends are exactly what she needs. And then there's Tom - who she can't help but feel she's met before...

As she rediscovers the magic in life, will she at last take a chance to find the happiness that has so far eluded her?

A gorgeous uplifting novel that will pull on your heart strings. Perfect for fans of Lucy Diamond and Jojo Moyes.
