Rocky is already finding life challenging. Her two children have grown up. Jamie has moved away and is married and in a good job. Willa is still at home, but Rocky is lacking direction and purpose in this next stage in her life.

Then there's a tragic accident. One of Jamie's old classmates has been killed in a road accident on a level crossing. 

Rocky can't stop mulling over the event. Did Miles intend to die, or was it a case of being at the wrong place at the wrong time? How can Rocky protect herself and her family from a similar random event? When is our time up?

Now in her early 50s, Rocky has become obsessed with her health. She is regularly googling her ailments and persuading her doctor to test her for various conditions and complaints.

It sounds all a bit bleak, but the family dynamics are great, the issues they face are believable and authentic, it's wry and funny, and real. Love her writing!
