About the Book

Miranda McVitty, wife, mother and campsite owner. Miranda loves to sing as she goes about her work and this summer she’s learning to sing her prayers as well as her to do list… which seems never ending when the chaos of life begins to assault her from all angles… Her husband faces potential redundancy, her oldest daughter is struggling with self-doubts, her mother is recovering from an operation and her business needs new direction? Will her songs be enough to carry her through?

Naomi, Miranda’s oldest daughter, is distraught after failing one of her exams in Building Surveying. She’s never failed an exam in her life. Now more than ever she needs peace and quiet to study for her resit, but in a house and campsite where there’s always something happening (and a madcap mother who’s taken to singing all the time), that’s unlikely. To top it off, her mum has hired recent graduate, Lewis Carter, for the summer. And her mum isn’t exactly subtle in her manoeuvres to get these two together, much to Naomi’s annoyance.

Join the McVitty family in the chaos of family life and running the Eden Cove campsite in this contemporary story of balancing work, life and family, all covered by a Mother’s Song.

Our house. Eleven Sycamore Street, Eden Cove. Our home since I was six.
