ITS NEVER TOO LATE TO SPREAD YOUR WINGS…

Recently widowed Venetia Hamilton Hargreaves is left with a huge house, a bank balance to match and an uneasy feeling that she's been sleepwalking through the last fifty years.

Buying the dilapidated Phoenix Ballroom and with it a community drop-in centre could be seen as reckless, but Venetia's generosity, courage and kindness provide a refuge for an array of damaged and lonely people.

As their stories intertwine, long-buried secrets are revealed, missed opportunities seized and lives renewed – the Phoenix lives up to its name. 'Will enthral and delight everyone who reads it' MIKE GAYLE 'Packed with Ruth Hogan's trademark warmth' MATT CAIN
