Set in Lancashire and South West France, Holding On Letting Go follows four friends, all facing choices that will tilt the direction of their lives.

For Chris, his wife’s words, ‘I’m leaving you,’ devastated his comfortable past, snatched away any future. A year later and he is still struggling to adapt to a new, more cynical self. How can he ever move on, find a new partner? There’s one woman he could trust, but she’s unavailable – unless he can persuade her otherwise.

Jo accepts an invitation to join Chris when he visits the Tarn et Garonne in France. They’re good friends, colleagues at work, have seen each other through difficult times. Predictably, her boyfriend isn’t happy and questions her intentions. But his possessiveness is beginning to irritate and only fuels a determination to re-establish her independence.

During their stay at Andy and Hannah’s old farmhouse, they discover a corner of France steeped in history with a dramatic beauty that charms them both. But in the end, it will be the scorching summer heat, intoxicating local wine, and the demands of their children that influence the course of events.

And letting go, rather than holding on, may eventually prove the best way to shape the future.
