However, has it been patiently awaiting her all along? As Nora and her British Army officer husband, Gordy, bid farewell to the sun-kissed shores of Cyprus and embrace the dreary drizzle of England, a sense of regret tugs at her heart—a mixture of remorse for not pursuing her own dreams and a lingering doubt if being an officer's wife was truly the path she envisioned for herself. Since losing her parents at a tender age, Nora's life has lacked a steadfast anchor, someone or something to provide her with a sense of security. Her marriage has been her sole enduring relationship, and just as it seems to be waning, a tragedy thrusts Nora into the role of legal guardian to her seven-year-old nephew, Ted. Faced with a responsibility she never imagined, how can Nora possibly offer Ted the unconditional love he deserves, when she has never experienced it for herself? Yet, as Nora navigates the treacherous and unfamiliar terrain of parenthood, she begins to see herself through Ted's eyes, recognizing her worthiness of love and even joy. When she finds herself welcomed into the previously intimidating circle of mums at the school gate, she can't help but wonder: is it too late to dismantle the barriers she has constructed and seize a second chance at a fulfilling marriage with Gordy?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 308g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 128 x 199 x 28 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781542024815\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amanda Prowse","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44094661853434,"sku":"9781542024815","price":5.81,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1673606331428_book.jpg?v=1673940636","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/picking-up-the-pieces-9781542024815","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
