Wonderboy - Softcover

Fiona Gibson is a freelance journalist who has written for many British publications, including The Observer, The Guardian, Red and Marie Claire. She is the mother of three young children.

Rowena Skews isn't thrilled with the idea of leaving her London home for a house in the country, but her husband, Marcus, is convinced their young son, Tod, will fare better there. Five-year-old Tod is clever and observant but doesn't socialize well, so Ro hopes that he'll have more friends at one of the country schools. But when Ro and her family arrive at Gorby Cottage, she finds it's going to need a lot of work to look presentable. Ro also hoped the move would bring her and Marcus closer, but her handsome husband seems more distant than ever. When Ro hears him murmur the name "Sarah" in his sleep, she begins to fear he is being unfaithful to her. And Ro herself is drawn to her sexy next-door neighbor, Joe, who helps her out when her car breaks down. Young mothers facing suburban life for the first time will especially enjoy reading about Ro's attempts to adjust to life outside of the big city. Kristine Huntley
