Synopsis
Testing, Testing, One, Two Teens Meet Lizzie, the exasperated mother of Cassie, Connor and Stepdaughter Maisy. She gets by with good friends, cheap wine and talking to herself. Teenager Cassie, the Facebook-tweeting, selfie-taking, music and mobile phone-obsessed daughter, hates everything about her life. She longs for a different existence and wishes her parents had never divorced. However, the discovery of a terrible betrayal, and a brutal attack, throws the whole household into disarray. Lizzie and Cassie are forced to reassess the important things in life as they embark upon separate journeys of self-discovery… Although tragic at times this is a delightfully funny exploration of domestic love, hate, strength and ultimately friendship. A poignant, heartfelt look at that complex and diverse relationship between a mother and daughter set amongst the thorny realities of today’s divided and extended families. Mothers and daughters alike will never look at each other in quite the same way after reading this book—a brilliantly funny observation of contemporary family life. 183 Times A Year is the first book in The Tree Of Family Life Trilogy. A witty and heartfelt family drama it will appeal to fans of authors like Jojo Moyes, Fiona Valpy and Sophie Kinsella.
