Family for Beginners

Katie Thyer

No one stays the same throughout their life. We're all changed and formed by the things that happen to us and to the people we love. 

It has always fascinated me that we’re prepared to end a romantic relationship that is no longer working but are generally reluctant to do the same with friendships. Not all friendships are meant to last for life. People evolve, and friendships evolve with them.

Maybe it's to do with getting older. Time is precious. Time is always precious of course, but when we're young we squander it dreadfully.

Life is like a garden, don't you think? Sometimes glorious, and sometimes a disaster. It's messy, but always real. And sometimes all we can do is forge ahead, and if that means flattening a few daisies on the way, then so be it.

'Joyful, uplifting and overflowing with love. Sarah's writing speaks straight to my heart' Cathy Bramley 'I adored it! I felt every character's pain, hope, and reluctant vulnerability. It forced me to open my heart right along with them. Sarah Morgan is a master storyteller' Laura Jane Williams, bestselling author of Our Stop
