Jamie Matson had once enjoyed a wonderful life working alongside her best friend, organising adventures for single-parent families, and her son Bo’s artistic flair a source of pride rather than concern.

She hadn’t been prepared to lose her business, her home and her friend. Not all in one dreadful year.

Jamie certainly hadn’t expected to find such hope and camaraderie in the queue at her local food bank. Thrown together with an unlikely and colourful group of people, their friendships flourish and, finding it easier to be objective about each other than about themselves, they decide that – when you’re all out of options – it’s okay to bend the rules a little and create your own.

What a difference a year could make . . .

My Thoughts:

I really enjoyed this story about Jamie. She had the perfect life until one day changed everything. Now she is left with nothing. But when she hears about the local food bank and what little food she has left for her and her son, she decides to bite the bullet and go. What she didn’t realise is the food bank has helped her not only for food but the community too. The friends she makes are an interesting bunch but Jamie wouldn’t have it any other way. The story tackles relatable issues but also shows if you are struggling you are not alone and their is help put there for everyone. I really enjoyed this heart warming story full of love and hope. It has made me want to look into volunteering at my local food bank.
