When struggling actress Heidi has a life-changing accident aged 32, her world falls apart. Stuck in hospital and unable to walk, her only companion is Maud, the elderly lady in the bed next to hers. Heidi misses her flatmate, her life, her freedom - surely 32 is too young to be an amputee?
But when Maud's aloof but attractive grandson Jack pays a visit to the ward, Heidi realises that her life isn't over just because it's different. It might not look like the life she dreamed of, but it's the one she's got - and there's a lot she still wants to tick off her bucket list. With Jack at her side, will Heidi take the first step back to happiness? Or is there one more surprise still in store...?
A feel-good read based on the inspiring true story of journalist Ella Dove. Sometimes all it takes is one small step...
Five Steps to Happy is an emotional rollercoaster which Ella Dove has written based, in part, on her own personal experiences. On the fateful day, Heidi is jogging and looses her footing resulting in her leg being amputated due to lose of blood supply to the limb. The story follows her road to recovery, including the dark times.
Five Steps to Happy is a really good read. There are dark times within the book but it is an inspirational and emotional read. It has a unique storyline which I can't think of any other book I have read that covers such an emotive theme and I really enjoyed reading the story.
Thank you to the publisher, Trapeze, and Compulsive Readers for inviting me to take part in the blog tour and for a copy of the book in return for an honest review.
