About this ebook

This ebook was written to help raise money for the children’s charity Joseph Cooper Trust. The author is donating all of her proceeds to this charity.

A collection of short stories of dreams, hope, the odd touch of true love and a hint of magic!

Eugene, who returned from National Service, was smitten with young Beryl. So much so, he brought her a red rose every Saturday when he picked her up to go out......but was it enough to keep her attention?

Lucy had reached a time in her life where a mundane job, bringing up her two daughters and being Mark’s wife was not quite enough. A conversation with an elderly gentleman whilst she waited for her children, convinced her to pursue a dream of becoming a health professional. 

Can the beauty and magic of Scotland play a part in the healing process? Diagnosed with depression, Janie, on sick leave from her hospice workplace, had no interest in anything let alone holidays. Husband Julian, wracked his brains to help his desolate wife, but was Scotland the answer?

Over to Ireland, where Sally began a new chapter in her life. Moving into a village situated within the beautiful area of County Wicklow, Southern Ireland, to be near her daughter.  But what was going on during the night? Where were the baby's cries coming from? Had Sally made the right decision to leave England?

The coffee shop that became part of a community hub. The last thing on Christie’s mind when she started her business venture, was it becoming a social care therapy centre!

Author

Linda Boulter

Prior to midlife Occupational Therapy training, Linda’s working life had been a mixture of hospitality and retail. Since then, her work has been focused on health and social care. This career variety combined with family life, including raising two daughters and travelling, contributed to ideas for the short stories. This is her second self-published book with Matador.
