This is the first book in the two-part "Autumn Daffodils" story. Five extraordinary people, having retired early in order to escape their past, find themselves reliving the very past they came to the 'Village' to forget. What unites the group is the guilt, shame or sorrow they have each tried so hard to leave behind. As compelling as each of the characters proves to be, it's Charlie's heart-breaking account of his affair with Joanna which ultimately proves to have repercussions for the whole group.

A gentle humour conceals a less obvious but thought-provoking narrative layered beneath the story. Tragic one moment and emotionally uplifting the next, "Charlie's Story" will make you laugh and cry in equal measure. The story gathers pace like a roller-coaster leading inexorably towards a dramatic final chapter where in one heart-stopping moment Charlie's life is changed forever. The final chapter will leave you utterly breathless but it's not the end; this is merely the starting point for "Joanna's Story".

Peter Turnham is also the author of the "None Stood Taller" series, set in World War Two, which follow the life and loves of Lily and her great friend Dotty, as they take part in the preparations for the D-Day Landings, through their work with the British SOE, Special Operations Executive.
