Worlds Apart cover

An emotional and hopeful debut that asks: Can first love survive 18 years, 11,000 miles and a lifetime of misunderstandings?

“How I loved this story... It has it all—an evocative setting, complicated characters and a tale that keeps you turning those pages. Super!” —Imogen Clark

Eighteen years ago, teenage Amy fled England, pregnant and heartbroken, to start over in New Zealand with her parents. Now Chris, the love she left behind, has walked into her beloved café by the beach and thrown her life into turmoil.

As far as Amy’s concerned, Chris chose to ignore the child she was carrying when they last met. She brought up their daughter alone and created a happy home for them both on the other side of the world. But with Chris suddenly back in her life, she can no longer ignore the past and begins to wonder what really happened all those years ago.

Old secrets and new revelations cast Amy’s world into doubt. What if this is her last chance at something truly meaningful? Can there really be a happy ending for everyone?

“How I loved this story. That delicious angst of first love magnified beautifully by something misunderstood and, finally, comprehension and the chance to set things right. It has it all—an evocative setting, complicated characters and a tale that keeps you turning those pages. Super!” —Imogen Clark, bestselling author
