Raspberry Juice

Although this is a novel, it is full of true life experiences that we all encounter at times: the break-up of a marriage and the anger and heartache it brings to all who are involved, our children being bullied at school and the pain surrounding that, the feeling of failure, lack of confidence in ourselves and the torture of following the procedures when someone dies, let alone dealing with our emotions. This book offers a possible way to look back at these experiences and view them from a totally different perspective, a more healthy and accepting one and not full of guilt for not being ‘good enough’. We are all ‘good enough’ and we do the best we can with the resources we have at the time, we can do no better. Scattered throughout there are references to books, song lyrics and poetry that give a positive aspect to changing our whole view of our lives and seeing it all as a true learning experience to accept and welcome even though some of our experiences may have been horrendous at the time, there is still a way to gain from them, in retrospect.

Lynne Wivanee

Lynne lives in a lovely old finca in Southern Spain with her partner, her dogs, cat and about 50 goldfish. She enjoys life in the warmer climes as it eases the arthritis which she says is a ‘pain in the ***’ whilst she is also working on the ‘letting go’ of it, not her ***, the emotions that generated the pain. She has three childults who are all in their 40s, one is almost 50, which she can’t believe as she isn’t old enough! Two live in the UK and one in the US and she’s very thankful that social media exists so that she can see them, as recent global events have limited travel.
