Publisher's summary

An uplifting novel on friendship, the menopause and the healing power of nature!

She was the only human being down at the lake. Elbows, in need of a slather of moisturiser, pointed at the clouds; breasts, lifted to pre-children perkiness; baby belly stretched and flattened. She stretched her arms out wide as she started to walk barefoot into the lake. Peering down into the clear water, she pulled down her goggles. It was time to plunge forwards, succumbing to the embrace of the water.

It was as if she were flying.

For friends Stevie, Holly and Angela, the last few years haven't been kind. With marriage breakdowns and sacrifices, their only moments of peace come when they are outside in the wild waters of the Lake District.

Now it's time for these three women to love themselves, just as they love the cold, and take charge of their own happiness in this uplifting and meditative novel of friendship and the healing power of nature.

Wonderful combination of the excitement and trouble of life with the experience of cold water swimming

As a cold water swimmer I was greatly looking forward to a “real life” story that included cold water excitement. Both are delivered in an excellent way. The insights into the troubles of midlife, relationships, family relationships, sensuality, and sexuality are perfect.
Thank you Sara Barnes for your book.
