A Young Woman's Guide to Carrying On is a laugh out loud romp.
Readers from book groups said:
‘This was a fantastic book. Well written, fantastic characters
and the author did a fantastic job of carrying you through all
the emotions of the characters and didn’t let them do the
‘right thing’. Nothing in real life is straight forward and we
often go down a path that we regret later.’
‘Fantastic book! I will definitely recommend it to my family
and friends.’
‘Made me laugh out loud – reminded me of my own family in
many ways.’

After another row with her mother,
Kathryn collects her belongings and slams
the door for the final time. It’s 1974 and
the beginning of a new life – but how much
can Kathryn really leave behind?
She takes a live-in job as a waitress at a
country house, working alongside the
outrageous Dee-Dee. Both 17, and both
with their own tragic past, they learn how
to bag a bloke, get through testing times
and even how to get on the property
ladder.
A Young Woman’s Guide to Carrying On is
a tender, witty and wise novel of love,
adultery, second chances and questionable
parenting.
Heart-warming and heart breaking in equal
measure.
