Casting Off — Cressida McLaughlin

Welcome to Cressida McLaughlin's heartwarming The Canal Board Cafe â€" step aboard!

Summer Freeman has embarked on a new life afloat. She's taking the Canal Boat Café on a scenic journey and is meeting old friends and new. Among the new is Claire from the bohemian boating community who is keen to take Summer under her wing. Mason, the handsome photographer from Willowbeck, seems intent on tracking her down, but Summer has discovered that Mason isn't all that he seems to be.
Summer starts to feel a real sense of freedom amongst wandering river folk, but she soon finds herself missing Willowbeck… and Mason, whose articles she has been reading online. Will Summer embrace the nomadic lifestyle or will she find herself drawn back to Willowbeck, the place she loves best and where Mason is waiting?

About the author

Cressy was born in South East London surrounded by books and with a cat named after Lawrence of Arabia. She studied English at the University of East Anglia and now lives in Norwich with her husband David.
Cressy's favourite things include terrifying ghost stories, lava lamps and romantic heroes, though not necessarily at the same time. She doesn't (yet) have a dog of her own, but feeds her love vicariously through friends' pets, and was once chased around a field by a soaking wet, very mischievous Border Collie called Wags.
When she isn't writing, Cressy spends her spare time reading, returning to London or exploring the beautiful Norfolk coastline.
