The Tree of Family Life Trilogy: 183 Times a Year, All the Colours In Between, and Time Will Tell

The funny, poignant trilogy following a modern British mother as she shepherds her kids through adolescence into adulthood, in one volume.

These three novels chronicle the ups and downs of Lizzie as she navigates motherhood (and stepmotherhood) and her loving, if sometimes dysfunctional, relationships with Cassie, Connor, and Maisy—along with her job at the library, the needs of her ailing mum, and the yearnings of her own heart. Includes:

183 Times a Year

Teenage Cassie, Lizzie's selfie-taking, social media-obsessed daughter, hates everything about her life and wishes her parents had never divorced. But when the discovery of a terrible betrayal and a brutal attack throws the household into disarray, both Cassie and Lizzie must reassess what's important as they embark upon separate journeys of self-discovery.

All the Colours In Between

Lizzie is pushing fifty, and her once angst-ridden teenage daughters have flown the nest—Cassie to London and Maisy to Australia—leaving only the less-troublesome Connor to take care of. The hard years, Lizzie believes, are behind her. But then a visit to her daughter in London leaves Lizzie troubled. Add an unexpected visitor, a disturbing phone call, a son acting suspiciously, a run-in with her ex-husband, and a new man, and Lizzie will soon learn life is something that happens while you're busy making plans.

Time Will Tell

Lizzie has become a writer, and in her spare time she does all she can to keep her family—still grieving a recent loss—together. But then, the suspicious death of a celebrity brings a shock to everyone. A troubling personal connection to the dead man will lead to fear, mistrust, and a mystery reaching back into the past . . .
