Book Description
Sara, thirty-four and a mother of three, never understood her father, Paul. He left her, her mother, and sister after he returned from the war. After she'd grown and moved away with her husband and three kids, her dad reunited with her mother. Years later she finds her and her family moving to be closer to her mother. When Sara and her dad reunite, they end up in a big argument. Her mother makes a wish. And they find themselves in each other's bodies. The only person that knows is Sara's three-year-old daughter, Emma, and she's not to tell anyone that Mommy is really Grandpa. Before they can turn back into each other's bodies, they must walk in each other's shoes—lives—without any physical contact. They are given cell phones, which will only work to communicate only during emergencies. And both were given a pad of paper to write down their daily routines. Now Sara, in her seventy-nine-year-old dad's body, she feels his aches and pains. She changes his wardrobe to "skinny jeans" and ends up taking his Viagra instead of his heart medication during his golf tournament. Paul needs to learn how to raise three kids while her husband is away—potty train Emma; organize Dora, middle child; and straighten the oldest child's, Jenny's, attitude. Will they truly understand the meaning of walking in each other's shoes or remain switched?

A superb evocation of theatre life from a naturally gifted storyteller, the beloved Lynda Bellingham. It is the summer of '82 as Sally Thomas prepares to leave her job at the British Drama League in London and head off to the North of England for her very first season in repertory as an Assistant Stage Manager at the beautiful old theatre in Crewe. Flung into this new world, Sally soon finds her feet, thanks to her own steady, unspoilt nature and to the company of her best friend, Jeremy. One of the first lessons she learns is that the other actors barely need tuition in the art of stage-fighting, since they are quite adept at stabbing each other in the back. When Jeremy falls suddenly and dangerously in love, Sally needs to grow up - fast. A shadow is falling over the theatre, sparing no one, and a tragedy is gathering pace in the darkness behind the stage. The Boy I Loveis a superb evocation of theatre and real life that will stay with you long after you've read it. Be warned: it may just break your heart.
