The Summer Seekers

The feel-good Sunday Times Top 5 bestseller! ‘The road trip of a lifetime – terrific fun, and will have you reaching for your car keys. The Summer Seekers is the perfect roadmap out of lockdown’ Veronica Henry, Sunday Times bestselling author

Kindness isn't weakness. Kindness is a quality that is often underrated.

Regret achieves nothing, and it isn't even valid because looking back with distance, isn't the same as looking forward when you’re close up. 

People are allowed to change their minds.

We need to make time for the things that are important to us.

Life can't always be fun. There's a lesson right there. A good life is a balance between doing what you have to do and what you want to do.

Nothing is more important than the people you love.
