On 01:01:12 Anna woke up to the New Year. She was 51, everything had changed including the dog.
‘The Binary Year’ explores one woman’s journey from a highly successful international career into a complete change of direction.
'The Binary Year' highlights the challenges surrounding the fostering process and the complexities of mid~life, choices, family, friends and the passage of time as seen through world events and experiences. Love and laughter are never far behind in this tale of one ordinary family.
Tracey Tester - "I downloaded this book when I saw a link saying it was currently free on Amazon - although I certainly would not mind paying for it.
I loved the way the book was written in diary format, with some entries being relatively short and others longer. I could not put down my Kindle while reading this book - it was most inconvenient that I have to work and could only read it for half an hour on my lunch break each day !
It certainly gives a great insight into the fostering process - I did not realise the full extent of the 'upheaval' for want of a better word, that prospective foster parents have to go through before they are even accepted (poor Leo !)
That said, it definitely isn't a tale of woe - the humour in the book (provided mostly by the wonderful Lily) is great and I found myself laughing out loud at some parts. I would even bookmark certain pages so that I would read them to my partner when I got home from work.
I highly recommend this book to anyone and I will definitely be reading it again."
The sequel to 'The Binary Year', 'The Year of the Jubilee' is now available out October 2013.
