Birdie is gone...but her past is calling.
When Joni loses her Nan, Birdie, her whole life is put on hold. Until the day she discovers Birdie’s old journal and a collection of letters containing secrets hidden for more than fifty years.
Determined to uncover the truth about Birdie’s past, Joni travels to Edinburgh in search of answers—and perhaps a way to finally let go.
Could it be that the grandson of the man Birdie loved has the answers she seeks…and will she ever find a way to move past Birdie’s death and embrace love without losing half of herself in the process?
Both Sides Now is a women’s fiction debut that explores self-discovery, love that transcends time, acceptance, healing, the meaning of family and navigating life after loss.
For readers who love the journey of overcoming grief and the slow-burn romance of The Seven Year Slip, the magical, cozy adventure of The Lost Bookshop & the emotional turmoil and musical depth of Deep Cuts.
