Take Me Home To Kelsey Sands is a gentle story about love, loss, family and second chances as Alison learns that sometimes in life you simply must take a chance, face up to the fear and learn to live again.

Widowed at a young age, Alison is at a crossroads in her life. Her Doctor wants to review her health, she needs to see an optician, her daughter seems to think she is a permanent free babysitting service for her twin Granddaughters and to top it all off, she needs to complete a Cancer screening test she received via the post after her last birthday.

It really is all too much and when she finally makes her way to the Health Centre her results show she is pre-diabetic! Her beloved Cousin Rosie tells her she needs to go home, home to Kelsey Sands to sort herself out, be with her family for a while and enjoy a slower lifestyle.

She reluctantly agrees, moving in with Rosie and beginning to enjoy being part of a large family group and close-knit community once again, well at least for the next few months.

Meeting an old school friend ‘Mac’ at the Pub she finds they have a lot in common, are both looking at life somewhat sadly, both needing to face hard facts to get their life back on track and as the weeks tick past more importantly they find they enjoy each other’s company rather a lot.

When Mac’s family situation blows wide open in a spectacular manner, Alison realises that perhaps she is the one who needs to believe what was developing between them was more than just a friendship, that maybe she is the one who needs to take a chance at beginning again, loving again and living again.

Sharon Booth has captured the essence of family, community and the power of love in Take Me Home To Kelsey Sands.
