Ten Years On

by Alice Peterson

Overview

Rebecca is happily married and content with her job in a London art gallery. But when tragedy strikes and her life comes crashing down around her, she flees to her childhood home in the country, hoping time will help her heal.

Born in the same country town, Joe had a falling out with Rebecca and hasn't seen or spoke to her in a decade. Now he's the successful owner of a wine bar, and is breaking local hearts.

Rebecca finds living with her parents again a challenge. Nor is it easy to discover that Joe lives and works too close for comfort. When she sees him again, bittersweet memories rush back to haunt her, along with unanswered questions.

Will she ever be able to forgive, forget and move on?

About the Author

Alice Peterson has published two non-fiction books and 11 critically-acclaimed novels. She is drawn to writing about people who face adversity, and deal with it through friendship, love and community, inspired by her own experience of a professional tennis career cut short at the age of 18 by illness.

Growing up, Alice was always known to family and friends as, ‘Alice, the tennis player’. Aged 18, she was on the verge of signing a tennis scholarship to America, but fate had other ideas. She began to experience pain in her right hand, which then developed into rheumatoid arthritis - an autoimmune condition which has been life-changing in every way.
Alice’s writing career began in her early 20s, encouraged by a friend who believed she might find it therapeutic to process the loss of her tennis and old life. Alice’s books are infused with her experience of adversity and grief, and the love, support and friendship she has received. This all finds its way on to the page, along with a lovely dose of humour.
Alongside Alice’s writing, she is now a fully qualified psychotherapist. This was something she always wanted to do as she never forgot her first counsellor, who helped her to rebuild her life after her diagnosis.
Finally, Alice loves dog walking, a glass of white wine and winning a game of cards. At heart, she will always be competitive. ‘Alice the tennis player’ is still in her, seen in her courageous fighting spirit.
