Desire Path is full of female rage and unhinged characters. Tenderness, murder and crime. A family and relationship story, about identity, community and friendship - and there is a romantic subplot. Multi generational, from Lochgelly to London, from loneliness to belonging.

A woman’s quiet life, ruined by two hapless teens. Deceit, betrayal, murder. A comedy with many tears, moral dilemmas and bookclub talking points.
Cheshire prize: “This character is one of the best we’ve read. We related to her situation. She’s sassy, determined, funny”

Desire Path is a dysfunctional family drama. Good people doing bad things, bad people doing good
things. Moral dilemmas yet joyful and funny. A rebellious teenager begins a cascade of illegal activities, ruining lives.
Cheshire prize: “You’ve done a superb job here”.
