Right Way Up back cover blurb:
When plans are upended, who can turn
them the right way up?
A heartwarming, wise and tender novel
about life's twists and turns and figuring out what really
matters, from Australian bestselling author Fiona McCallum.
Kind-hearted and practical
psychologist Colin Palmer has spent decades helping his
clients. Now he's under pressure to retire and hit the road
in a new caravan with his wife Joyce.
However, when Joyce abruptly heads
off on her own adventure, Colin's perfectly ordered world is
flipped upside down. He's left grappling to make sense of
their marriage, who he is and what he wants.
Enter no-nonsense, blunt, firecracker
ex-nurse Shirley Royal! Recently widowed, Shirley is also
searching for meaning after losing the bedrock of her
existence. She's ripe for a new project and Colin might just
be it!
But just when Colin's future appears bright and assured, thanks to Shirley's friendship, Joyce tumbles back into his world. How will he now navigate a path between his old life and new?
