Seven Days There: Seven Days, #1

By Ruth Hay

When friends reunite after years apart, what secrets will be revealed?
Valerie Westwood never expected to outlive her husband.
David had been so full of life, such a commanding presence as a father and partner, that even after his cancer diagnosis, she could not imagine he would fail to beat this challenge, as he had all others.
His final years had been much harder on her than she could believe.
Now she was alone with decisions to make. Their grown sons had families and lives of their own. 
It was time for Valerie to start again but, first, she needed the consolation and comfort of her old friends.
She would find a way to bring the women together in a place so special that it would unlock the past and give all of them a glimpse of a new future.
