Twenty years later, her bed is burning once again... as she wakes in a perimenopausal sweat, night after night.This is the story of her journey through midlife- of the joy of letting go and the pain of the morning after, of the unstoppable power of female friendship and the struggle to raise teenagers as a single parent.

And as her world takes on a different shape, there's something else she starts to feel- the hot flush of possibility...'Wickedly funny, deliciously candid and deeply moving' RACHEL CLARKE, author of Dear Life'Give Quilt on Fire to your daughter, mother, sister, friends.
