About this ebook
Ignored. Overlooked. But they're about to prove everyone wrong...
Janet Pimm is used to being invisible. 70 something, with her beloved allotment for company, she simply doesn't need anyone else.
But when the local council threaten to close the allotments, Janet will do anything she can to try to save them - even enlisting the help of her irritatingly upbeat and interfering neighbour, Bev.
As the two women set off on a journey together, Janet begins to realise that perhaps she isn't so happy to blend into the background after all. And that maybe there's more to Bev than she first thought. As they fight to save the place Janet loves most, both women find their voice again and no one can silence them now...
A story of friendship, female lives post-menopause, community spirit and the importance of connection.

A story about the power of the people, a shout out for the menopausal and the retired, a reminder of the ways in which those in power abuse that power, a love letter to plants and nature. A book about reclaiming your voice and following your heart. I thoroughly enjoyed this. I received an ARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

Really good read. So wanted to support the allotment gardeners and I'm not a gardener!
