Place For Everything

Wilson, Anna

'Painful, raw and with an honesty that rings clear as a bell' Catherine Simpson, author of When I Had a Little Sister A searing account of a mother's late-diagnosis of autism - and its reaching effects on a whole family. Anna grew up in a house that was loving, even if her mum was 'a little eccentric'. They knew to keep things clean, to stay quiet, and to look the other way when things started to get 'a bit much for your mum'. It's only when her mother reaches her 70s, and Anna has a family of her own, that the cracks really start to appear. More manic. More irrational. More detached from the world. And when her father, the man who has calmed and cajoled her mother through her entire life is diagnosed with cancer, the whole world turns upside down. This is a story of a life lived with undiagnosed Aspergers, about the person behind the disorder, those big unspoken family truths, and what it means to care for our parents in their final years.

Honey the dog is having puppies—seven times the fun, seven times the complete-and-utter chaos
Life has been a bit yawnsome since Summer Holly Love trained her golden Labrador, Honey, to become a "Doggy of Well-Behaved and Quietish Proportions." Which is why it's so fantastic that Honey is expecting her very own litter of pups! Now that she is a mother-to-be, her eating habits have gone loop-the-loop crazy, and she keeps building strange nests all over our house. Meanwhile, Summer is having to sort out her sister's dramas with her boyfriend, Nick the vet, who has been spending rather a lot of time with his new nurse, Felicity Shufflebottom. Will the arrival of Honey's tiny pups make everyone happier or will our household simply dissolve into mayhem and chaos?

A side-splitting, chaotic story about schemes, dreams, and monkeying aroundFor Felix and Flo, animals are the number one top priority in life.

So when he finds out from Flo that you can actually adopt your own animal via the miracle of the internet, he is beside himself with excitement—until he realizes that this plan isn’t as foolproof as it seems, and may just drive him bananas.
