Description

Two people are about to take off on a journey that could change their whole lives…

As the plane surges up into the clouds, Stevie finds herself clutching the hand of the handsome stranger sitting in the seat next to her.

It is a moment that will change everything. But Ned is heading to see his dying mother, and Stevie is returning to France to escape a terrible loss in her past. Neither of them can think about that tiny flame that just flickered between them.

But then their paths keep crossing, leading them both to the same beautiful community garden in a small French village; run by a mysterious old man named Zeke – a man with many of his own secrets.

As it becomes clear that fate is going to keep bringing them together – the two of them have to ask – are they ready for a happy-ever-after? Do they even know how to find it?

As the seeds grow into plants and flowers all around them, Stevie begins to wonders if Zeke – and his garden – might just have the answers…

The Making Of Us is a heartbreakingly powerful, yet uplifting, novel set in the south of France, about two broken people learning to love. Guaranteed to have readers reaching for the tissues!

A very pleasant surprise from an author I didn’t know but who I shall be looking out for again.
Such a lovely, heartwarming, engaging light ( but never shallow ) story, set in an idyllic setting. The writing style is smooth and flowing, the characters relatable and believable, their stories plausible and real. Most definitely recommended.

What a truly gorgeous book! I was taken in from page 1 and couldn’t put it down. I loved all of the characters and heart warming plot. It’s a book that will stay with me for a long time.
