Pack Up The Moon

What if your boyfriend died right in front of you?

It was a night of laughter and celebration. But when John dies in a dreadful accident, his girlfriend Emma is plunged into despair. She loved John more than life itself - and now death has taken him from her. She feels nothing, she has lost everything, her world spins out of control.

Or so she thinks. For Emma has friends - good friends who rally around. But the shocking memory of that night returns to haunt each of them in different and trying ways.

And Emma knows that if she is ever to laugh at life again, or find love she once had, she will have to let go of the man she thought she couldn't live without. She must let go and trust her heart.

Captures the pain of loss and longing ... but her background in stand-up comedy spills onto every page, making this touching novel so funny
