About Urgently Required: Rewriting The Book Of Love (Midlife Secrets Series stand-alone reads):
Emma Ward’s generosity of spirit does her no favours. Her mother and friends regularly take advantage of her good nature. It’s only when Mark enters her life that the placid librarian realises it’s time to stop putting everyone else’s needs before her own. However, it’s not long before Emma discovers this is easier said than done.
The conflicting demands of her mother, her new boyfriend and her job at the library force her to make hasty decisions which irreversibly change her path in life. Her once safe, dependable comfort zone begins to slip away and she finds herself conforming to societal expectations before she’s ready.
The pressure in midlife to get married, buy a house and have a baby before she’s forty starts to build and build. Emma doesn’t feel equipped for any of it, despite sinking deeper into all of it. She knows a change is urgently required and she must assume control of her destiny. Will she succeed or will her desperate attempts prove too little too late?
