Book Review:
''The Runaway Woman'' by Josephine Cox is a triumphant tale about finding the courage to start over. Those looking in from the outside think Lucy Lovejoy's life is like any other. But at the centre of her family there is a big empty hole where all the love and warmth should be. Over the years, her children have watched while their father chipped away at Lucy's self-confidence. Now the children are following their own paths, and Lucy has never felt more alone.

When tragedy strikes at the heart of the family, it's a wake-up call for Lucy. Everyone has taken a little piece of her, and expects her to struggle on. So when Lucy faces a betrayal from those she loves deepest, she knows that it's time to make a choice. Is she brave enough to find herself again?

Cox's talent as a storyteller is spellbinding. This is a story of heartbreak, betrayal, and ultimately, hope. If you enjoy women's fiction, family dramas, or stories about finding strength in the face of adversity, The Runaway Woman is a must-read. Highly recommended!
