A New Start

Summary

PART FOUR of a serialised novel - a heartwarming and inspiring story about living the simple life and the joy of animals.

The last few months have been hard for Sam. But her dream to work as a vet is slowly becoming reality, and she is beginning to encounter the struggles and heartbreaks that someone in a job like this must face.

But what’s more heartwarming and inspiring than a litter of new piglets? On a call to a farm with Joe, Sam can’t help but feel a sense of renewal in her own life as she witnesses one of the most glorious and natural processes of all.

Sam's thoughts inevitably turn to her own life. With everything in flux around her, is she ready for change? And will she ever find her happy ending?

Note: this is part four of a four-part serialised novel. The full length paperback will be available in June.
