About the book

Violet Strong is strong by name but not by nature, or so she thinks. She listens but never talks about herself. She’s friendly but doesn’t have many real friends. She’s become good at keeping people at a distance ever since she left home at eighteen and never looked back.

But when Violet is forced to return home to care for her estranged mother, Glenys, she quickly finds out that life as a carer isn’t easy. Feeling overwhelmed, she’s forced to turn to the other local carers, including childhood friend, Adam, for help. Although returning home still feels like a mistake, maybe it will help Violet right some wrongs. After all, she can’t keep running from her past forever, and in learning to look after 
others, perhaps Violet can start to finally love herself…

The Imperfect Art of Caring is quirky and hopeful story that’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face and leave a tear in your eye. Perfect for fans of Anstey Harris, Lia Louis and Beth Morrey.
