The End of a Journey by Grace Thompson

Zena Martin and her brother, Greg, are content with their lives and plans for their future: Zena and Jake Williams are about to announce their engagement, and Greg hopes to persuade Rose Conelly to meet his family and begin the next stage of their relationship.

Then their father dies suddenly and secrets come to light that change everything. Zena begins to doubt her happiness with the kind-hearted Jake when his generosity is more for others than for her. Greg is distressed when Rose leaves the town without any explanation.

But it is their mother’s secret that is hardest to understand. And when everything is revealed and explanations are offered, what will be left of their once optimistic future?

Pity the Lonely Dreamers by Grace Thompson

Valentina’s mother had always made it clear to her that her brother, Michael, was the favourite child. So, when the opportunity comes for Valentina to leave South Wales behind, and head to London, she grasps it with both hands. Living in the midst of the music scene changes her attitude and, growing in confidence and experience, Valentina attempts to move out from the shadow of her friend, Phil, and his dream of being a star. But 70s London is still thoroughly a man’s world and with her new-found success it is Phil who becomes resentful, and dangerously so. With new friends and big ambitions Valentina learns to stand on her own, and make for herself the life of which she dreams.
