Book Cover & Preview Text
Carla stared at Lizzie open-mouthed and then turned towards Douglas. She had not considered the obvious for a single moment. If her best friend's family sold up and moved out; then it followed that somebody else would move in. Another family would invade their idyllic existence. People they knew nothing about would be expecting to become part of their lives. She slowly sank down on to one of the bar stools that stood conveniently close to a collection of well-worn recipe books, and burst into tears.

About the Book
Capstan Court is home to three distinctly different families whose lives have become entwined through friendships forged over twenty years. They have shared joys and sorrows, survived teething toddlers, lent helping hands, and celebrated one another’s successes. Nothing lasts forever, however. Parents age, children grow up, and ambitions and aspirations jockey for position. Suddenly, the stability of the three households is under threat. Can they negotiate the troubled waters surrounding them or will they be swept away by the waves and vying currents of inevitable change?
