Izzy's Story: Life After Separation
(2016)(The first book in the Happiness Club series)
A novel by Sarah Hope
Heartbroken and alone, Izzy looks up at the dingy bedsit her and her two children must now call home.
When Izzy's husband tells her their marriage is over and refuses to leave the marital home, she loses everything: her home, her job, her friends.
She finds herself living in her brother's bedsit, trying to scrape enough money together from the state benefits she is forced to claim to feed herself and her children.
With her confidence plunging, she struggles to recognise herself and her new life.
A chance glance at a poster, and a little encouragement from a friend, leads her to join The Happiness Club, a support group for the divorced and separated. Will they offer her the understanding and insight into her new role and help her to carve a new future?
The rollercoaster of emotions felt after a marriage breakdown are portrayed honestly and realistically in a way any newly single mum will be able to empathise with.
Genre: General Fiction
