Sinopsis

A high-flying executive walks out of her polished life with no plan and no suitcase, and lands in a place where nobody knows her name. Heartfelt British women’s fiction about burnout, blame and the unexpected joy of starting over in the middle of your story.

She’s built a life that looks perfect on paper. But the truth won’t stay hidden forever.

Grace Leven has the job, the title, and the polished public image to match. But behind the magazine covers and boardroom doors, her world is quietly falling apart.

Her marriage is over. Her best friend has vanished. And one damning piece of footage could unravel the career she’s spent decades building.

So she runs―no plan, no suitcase, just instinct―and finds herself somewhere no one knows her name. She tells herself it’s temporary. Just time to breathe. But the stillness leaves room for everything she’s tried to outrun: the panic, the guilt, and the ache of a life that no longer fits.

And then there’s Harvey―the quiet, steady presence who sees through the cracks and offers her something she didn’t expect: a reason to stay.

What Really Happened to Me is the second novel in the Strawberry Village series. It’s a heartfelt exploration of burnout, blame, and the quiet strength it takes to rewrite your story from the middle.

Acerca del autor

Ellie Barker is a television journalist, author and host of The Next Chapter podcast. Ellie started as a runner in TV just like Rosie in The Pink Coffee Shop. Does the camera really lie? With more than 25 years in the industry, Ellie knows. When she's not being dazzled by those TV lights, Ellie writes contemporary romance novels or Fiction Therapy as she calls it.The Pink Coffee Shop, The Juggle and The Secrets of the Coffee Club are all set in the fictitious Cherry Blossom Park in Bristol―the city where Ellie lives with her journalist husband, sons and dog, Cookie. Her latest novel Do We Really Have to Do This? is the first in a new series set in the fictitious Strawberry Village, also in Bristol, with the next one due in 2024. When Ellie's not holding a microphone or collecting socks, she loves to write warm, uplifting fiction with lots of love and hope. All her books feature a therapist (hence the Fiction Therapy) based on her lifelong fascination with mental health. And be warned: after years of reporting on some of the not-so-fair parts of life, only happy endings are allowed.

Ellie would love to hear from you on her website―where you can read the real-life story behind her books.
