Synopsis
Matt Webster finds his world shattered when his wife walks out, leaving him with their four-year-old son. Grief and shock are compounded by the challenge of having to cope as a working single parent, juggling childcare and the considerable demands of his job. Having been something of a hands-off parent prior to his wife's departure, he is thrown in at the deep end. And, forced to cope as a single father, Matt learns for the first time the true heartbreak and joy of unconditional love.

Review
'Often poignant, and thoroughly engaging' South Hams Newpaper Charming and enjoyable * Best * 'This is a funny, poignant and relevant novel - superb in detail that will be familiar to many' Essex Chronicle The novel walks a line between comedy and wrenching sadness. It is fluently written and its depiction of domestic chaos and a man's bewilderment when unexpectedly faced with a young son's needs is all too recognisable * Elizabeth Buchan, The Sunday Times * 'Subsequent struggles are recounted with compassion and humour' Family Circle Brookfield is a prolific author and has a true gift of narrative that draws the reader into the world she is painting. Unusually she manages to nake the reader care about the characters who are all realistic * The Magazine *
