Let The Rain Take A Break

From award-winning author Sally Jenkins comes a story about unlikely friendships and facing your fears to find love after fifty.

Is it ever too late to start living for the first time?

Florence is buoyant and colourful, an ageing tribute band singer who’s full of life. And the complete opposite of staid Stuart, her new landlord.

Stuart’s not sure about having a lodger. And he’s not used to the singing and dancing that now fills the house. Nor the pairs of voluminous knickers left to dry on every spare surface in the bathroom.

Florence is everything Stuart has never allowed himself to be: bold, fearless, unabashedly herself. He’s spent his life putting everyone’s needs ahead of his own, avoiding risks and hiding from chances.

Soon Florence is persuading Stuart to dance with her in the kitchen. And when his childhood sweetheart shows up again, it’s Florence who encourages him to make his move.

Florence can see how much he’s changed, even if he won’t admit it. But Stuart has changed. He’s no longer the timid man he was when they first met.

Life is about to give Stuart a second chance, if only he has enough courage to grasp it…

The dead have risen, and they are hungry.

Slow and plodding, they are Legion. The undead hunt the living. Stop and they will catch you. Hide and they will find you. If you have a heartbeat you do the only thing you can: You run.

Survivors escape to an island stronghold: A cop and his daughter, a computer nerd, a garbage man with a piece of rebar, and an escapee from a mental hospital with a life-saving secret. After reaching Alcatraz, the ever expanding group of survivors realize that the infected are not the only threat.
Caught between the viciousness of the undead, and the heartlessness of the living, what choice is there? Run.

Some promises shape a life.
Others haunt it.

As a young woman, Emma Blake made a vow that would define her future — to become the doctor who could stop a devastating brain cancer from claiming another life. Decades later, Emma is an accomplished oncologist, her professional identity built on ambition, sacrifice, and an unrelenting sense of duty.

But when Emma becomes pregnant, the life she has carefully constructed begins to fracture. The past she thought she’d made peace with resurfaces, and the promise that once gave her purpose now demands more than she may be willing — or able — to give.

Caught between motherhood and medicine, love and obligation, Emma is forced to confront the truth beneath the choices she’s made. As long-buried secrets emerge, she must reckon not only with what she has sacrificed, but with whether redemption is something we earn — or something we grant ourselves.

Nowhere Near Goodbye is a powerful, emotionally layered novel about ambition, motherhood, and the lifelong consequences of the choices women make. Thought-provoking and morally complex, it is perfect for readers and book clubs who value honesty over comfort — and stories that linger long after the final page.
