About the Book

Parallel Lives

Before they could find each other, they had to find themselves.

Tess and Simon are living separate lives, following different roads and facing choices that will change everything they thought they knew about love, family and themselves.

As their stories unfold in parallel, both must confront disappointment, uncertainty and the consequences of the paths they have chosen. Neither realises that every ending is quietly leading towards an unexpected new beginning.

Warm, moving and deeply human, Parallel Lives is a story of resilience, second chances and finding the courage to begin again.
