Publisher's Summary

From the author of Belly Dancing for Beginners..... When Heather Delaney is injured in a shocking act of violence, her life is thrown off course. Struggling to return to work, she is haunted by the incident. Was it random or personal? Will they try again?

And Heather is not the only one who is rocked by the attack. Her brother, Adam, and his second wife, Jill, already juggling the demands of work and pre-teen children find their marriage is straining at the seams. Adam disappears into his music while Jill attempts to keep all the balls in the air. Shaun, Heather's offsider, young, loyal and ambitious, questions his relationship: Diane, an office volunteer, can't stop the bitterness pouring out after a mid-life divorce; and Heather's aunt, Barbara, is about to have her peaceful rural retirement disrupted by conflicting loyalties.

Then along comes Heather's old flame, Ellis. Romantic, flamboyant, determined to recapture the past and take control of the future, he seems to have all the answers. But can it really be that easy?

Editorial reviews

In this novel, Heather Delaney is an Australian parliamentarian who may have been the subject of an assassination attempt. Ellis, Heather’s ex-boyfriend, is re-inventing himself as a life coach and has wandered back into Heather’s life. Performed in the pleasing, solid voice of Heather Bolton, Trip of a Lifetime is a literary soap opera, weaving its way between connected characters in various stages of relational difficulty, including Jill, who must balance a faltering marriage and the demands of motherhood. It is no wonder that author Liz Byrski has contributed to Cosmopolitan.
