FIVE STAGES OF GRACE

Grief, love, and second chances. 

A young woman fights for survival after a life changing cancer diagnosis. Her marriage and dreams of becoming a mother hang in the balance. Can she hold onto what’s left of her life or will grief drag her under? 

A fearless and vulnerable portrayal of grief, balanced with humour and heart. For fans of Ann Patchett and Liane Moriarty. 

Grace Granger has one dream: to become a mother. It’s all she and her husband, Adam, can think about. But when a small lump on her neck turns out to be cancer, Grace’s world shatters. Suddenly, the life she was building – the marriage, the family, the future – becomes a battle for survival. 

Told through the five stages of grief – Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance – Grace’s journey is raw, heart-wrenching, and unexpectedly hopeful. As she navigates invasive treatments, an overbearing mother, busy friends, and a husband who feels further away with each passing day, Grace must decide: will she fight for the life she’s losing, or learn to embrace the one she still has?

FORGOTTEN

What would you do if you couldn’t remember the last decade of your life?

After a traumatic car accident, Ava Durant wakes up in hospital not remembering how she got there. However, that’s not all she’s forgotten. The last ten years of her memory are gone and she’s not a thirty-year-old woman anymore, she’s forty.

Struggling to come to terms with everything she’s lost, she tries to live in her new reality but everything is foreign and unfamiliar. Her husband has gone, her friends are different and life is unrecognisable. In order to move forward she has to go backwards to unearth her forgotten past and the secrets that have shaped her. A sharp examination of what it looks like to be a woman in today’s society, this book is for anyone who’s woken up at forty and wondered what has happened to their life.

Forgotten is Casey Nott’s debut novel.
