Books by Donna Wootton

Serve hash brownies to her bridge club? Check. Attend her granddaughter's prom channeling her inner Thelma and Louise? Check. Get arrested? Check. Shirley Palmer is determined to have the most exciting summer of her life. And her husband, daughter, grandkids, and friends can either come along for the ride or stay and pick up the pieces. Their choice. But Shirley's bucket list is widening the fault lines in her relationships. Some fractures create new understanding with those she loves. Others release resentments that threaten everything she holds dear. Ultimately Shirley comes to realize what really matters and what she must do. But first there's that last golden wish to fulfill, perhaps the most dangerous one of all... "What Shirley Missed" will resonate with anyone who has loved- and hated- their family. Donna Wootton has created unforgettable characters with complex inner lives that will keep you turning the pages long after you should have turned out the light.
