Calum McSwiggan's "Jenna Walker has suddenly found herself with no job, no boyfriend, nowhere to live - and she's been wondering for a while now if, apart from her beloved cat Bertie, she has anything to live for." introduces us to Jenna, a young woman facing a series of challenges that seem to have left her lost and uncertain. Through her journey, we witness her resilience and determination to find meaning and purpose in life.

The last thing Rosie Walker wants is to turn up on her sister's doorstep, but that feels like her only option after a series of setbacks and disappointments. However, what she doesn't expect is to find a sense of belonging and purpose in a community garden project that her sister has initiated.

David, Rosie's next-door neighbour, is a retired doctor with a big idea. Inspired by his late wife June, he proposes a community garden project for those who are struggling. The sisters reluctantly agree to take part, even though they believe it will be a waste of time. How could fixing up an overgrown plot of land make anyone's life better?

As the group works together to bring the garden back to life, new friendships blossom and old wounds start to heal. Jenna and Rosie come to realise that the world around them might have more to offer than they had once believed.

From the author of bestseller "If Only," "Glass Houses" is a heartfelt, uplifting novel about family, growth, friendship, and hope. Evocative, emotional, and visceral, Briana Morgan's writing transports readers to a world where the possibilities for healing and transformation are endless.
