A delicious recipe for domestic disaster!

Take one small town where everyone thinks they know everyone else's business.
Add three households: MP Mike Andrews, his wife Gill and two young children; Church of Scotland minister Tom Graham, his wife Ali, two teenage daughters and an afterthought; Sixty-something local businessman Jack Caldwell, and his childless wife Phyllis.
Mix in several large dollops of scandal, some secrets and a tragedy.
Turn up the heat and bring to the boil.
Season with one eccentric old lady - Minty Oliver - and serve with the tabloid press and a big helping of local gossip.

A thoroughly topical tale of scandal and gossip from a new storytelling talent.

About the Author

Rosie Wallace was brought up in Milngavie, near Glasgow but has lived on Orkney since her marriage to Jim Wallace, MP for Orkney and Shetland, bringing up their two daughters. She is a speech and language therapist, and since 2003 has been working freelance, specialising in dyslexia. In 2007, her husband stood down from the Scottish Parliament and was appointed to the House of Lords, so she acquired a title which is only used occasionally!

Rosie`s interests include cooking, travelling and walking.
