WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE HUSBAND SHE'S LOATHED FOR YEARS SUDDENLY DIES?

Poppy Shilling may have fantasized about her boring
husband slipping on ice on his way to get the paper or
contracting malaria from a mosquito bite, but she never
imagined Phil would leave her so suddenly. When a freak
cycling accident takes out her Lycra—wearing husband, Poppy
can't help but feel relieved rather than distraught.

But when a mysterious visitor arrives after the funeral
bearing secrets about her husband, Poppy quickly learns that
Phil was not exactly the man she thought he was—and she
might not be the woman she thought she was, either.

International bestselling author Catherine Alliott crafts an
endearing and quirky "what if" story that will make your
heart sing as you follow Poppy on her unforgettable journey.
