Produktbeschreibung
Brenda Watt's life has no purpose. She is sixty-five and has retired from a full-time job after working in the same offices for forty-two tedious and unhappy years. She has no family, no one she could call a close friend and has never had the time or inclination for hobbies, clubs or gyms. She feels lonely, isolated and useless. So she decides she needs a challenge and decides to volunteer at a local charity shop. This is the starting point for her transformed world. She discovers that charity shops are not the quiet, unassuming places she had always imagined them to be, as she experiences school girl thieves, grooms who have lost their wedding outfits, drug runners, ferrets, floods and discarded goldfish. Brenda had never imagined how much she could enjoy life.
Autorenporträt
Janet taught drama and English in comprehensive schools for thirty-five years. During this time, she wrote plays for the pupils to perform and was involved in amateur drama, both as an actor and a director. She has always been an avid reader and her love of literature and a desire to write encouraged her to join a writer's group when she retired. This led to writing short stories and then to writing her first novella, Charitable Thoughts. Janet has two children, Kate and Mark, who both have left the nest, and she lives in Brentwood with her husband, Keith.
