On the eve of the 2010 Soccer World Cup in South Africa, Jeannie Parker welcomes her sister from Australia, expecting that they will soak up the pre-event atmosphere, eat delicious food around the braai and sip crisp Cape wines on the patio.
But Karen's shrewd eye picks up that Jeannie's handsome husband Craig has a secret. When Jeannie spots him with a beautiful woman much younger than herself, the game is on.
Written in a crisp, energetic style, this novel captures the strong pulse of Johannesburg city life and portrays a woman who, after making many sacrifices in the interests of her family, won't be cheated out of the good life she knows she deserves.

"I found the book fascinating, especially the punchy paragraph style, the character development and the positive air to the environment and to the fate of the characters." Sue
"On a recent rainy Tuesday I snuggled under the duvet to a most enjoyable read. I thoroughly enjoyed the backdrop, I had been caught up in the soccer, the Gautrain development and unfortunately Joburg crime! I loved every minute and read it from cover to cover, only stopping to top up my tea." Jocelyn
"I loved your book. I stayed up till all hours because I wanted to finish it. Your characters are delicious and your writing is crisp, descriptive and energetic! I wish you many thousands of sales!
I don’t hold it against you…. but please could you hurry up and publish your next book! I could do with another dose of your novel writing.
" Veruska
This is the story of how, in my fifties, I got back in the saddle to explore the world on horseback in spite of being severely visually impaired. I believe in dreams and in the soul's calling. When opportunity and intention come together, anything is possible. But it all began with claiming the right to do what was buried deep in my heart.
