Louise Walters – författare

Joanna runs her own entrepreneurial textiles business and is a fiercely-independent single mum to her fourteen-year-old son Ryan, who is increasingly getting into trouble. When Ryan hits a girl and is excluded from school, Joanna knows she must take drastic action to help him.  Ryan's American father Lex ran out when Ryan was two years old, leaving Joanna broken-hearted, penniless, and furious. Ryan doesn't remember his dad – but more than anything he wants him back in his life. Isolated, a loner, and angry, Ryan finds solace in books and wildlife. Joanna, against all her instincts, swallows her pride, tracks Lex down, and asks him to return and help their son. But Lex is a drifter who runs from commitment, and both Joanna and Ryan find their relationship is put to the test when Lex returns, and vows to be part of the family again.  The third novel from the critically acclaimed author Louise Walters, originally published in 2018. Perfect for fans of Anne Tyler and Joyce Maynard.
