Two women worlds apart ...
one secret that changes everything.
Erin and Laura are cousins and best friends who share a love of languages and travel.
Erin, a French teacher in Dublin, reaches crisis point and drops everything to move to Australia. In Sydney, not only does she land the perfect job, but she meets the perfect man. Finally, her life is falling into place. Except Sydney isn't home, and never can be.
Back in Ireland, Laura is struggling. Her husband appears distant, her work life is spinning out of control and her daughter's strange new nanny is undermining her at every turn. She longs to travel in Erin's footsteps, to drop everything and run far away. But these are dangerous thoughts for a mother and wife.
As Erin and Laura desperately try to find their place in the world, a shocking family secret comes to light, and nothing will ever be the same again.

'With all the humour and empathy of Binchy ... Carroll captures the conflicts and compromises women make.' - Daily Telegraph

Author Bio:
Ber Carroll was born in Blarney, County Cork,
and moved to Australia in 1995. Her first novel, Executive Affair, was
inspired by her initial impressions of Sydney, and her exciting, dynamic work
environment at the time. Ber now lives in Sydney’s northern beaches with her
husband and two children. Worlds Apart
is her sixth novel. Incidentally, Ber is short for Bernadette, but please don’t
call her Bernadette: this is what her mother calls her when she is in trouble
for something.
Ber’s
novels have been published in five countries, including Ireland. If you would
like to know more about Ber and her novels, you can visit her website at www.bercarroll.com,
or you can subscribe to her newsletter (Book Chat) with fellow authors Dianne
Blacklock and Liane Moriarty (see Ber’s website for a link to the newsletter
and to find Ber on Facebook).
Worlds Apart is
available in hard copy or e-book. It can be purchased on Amazon, Book Depository, Booktopia, Apple
iTunes, Barnes and Noble,
Kobo and many
other online sites.
It sounds as if you get to draw on a lot of personal knowledge of Ireland and Australia for your book.
