The Book Swap
When newcomer and single mum Becca goes to a school PTA meeting, she is handed the task of looking after the village book swap – a dirty, smelly phone box full of unloved books. She’d much rather be finding a job, or some friends. Unfortunately, though, her daughter Ellie decides she loves the book swap, so Becca has no choice in the matter.
Can Becca find her feet in the village and make the book swap something to be proud of? And who is the book swap’s mysterious benefactor?
The Postbox Topper
Julie has spent the last two years grieving. When she’s dragged to a local knitting and crochet group, she doesn’t expect much. However, she finds friends, companionship, and a new interest. Together, the group make a postbox topper for the village – which vanishes almost immediately.
Julie sets off on a quest to find the missing postbox topper. Will she succeed? And will her annoying neighbour Neil be a help or a hindrance?
The Corner ShopSaffron, the scary head of the PTA, is struggling to keep her consultancy business afloat. When a fellow parent gives her a lead, she doesn’t expect to end up behind the counter of a local shop.
She settles in and gets to know the customers, including the school caretaker she’s constantly at odds with – but why does he go out of his way to visit the shop? And how long can Saffron keep her job a secret from her children and her friends?
The Secret SantaMeadley Christmas Festival is on the horizon, but when Santa goes AWOL, a replacement must be found. Saffron, Julie and Becca are determined to find out who the secret Santa is, but will they succeed?
