Love And Other Battles

Tess Woods

Three generations of women. Three heartbreaking choices. One unforgettable story. 1969: Free-spirited hippie Jess James has no intention of falling for a soldier … but perhaps some things are not in our power to stop. 1989: Jess’s daughter, Jamie, dreams of a simple life - marriage, children, stability - then she meets a struggling musician and suddenly the future becomes wilder and complex. 2017: When Jamie’s daughter, CJ, brings home trouble in the form of the coolest boy at school, the worlds of these three women turn upside down … and the past returns to haunt them. Spanning the trauma of the Vietnam War to the bright lights of Nashville, the epidemic of teenage self-harm to the tragedy of incurable illness, Love and Other Battles is the heart-wrenching story of three generations of Australian women, who learn that true love is not always where you seek it. If you loved The Notebook, this is a novel for you. PRAISE ‘Compulsively readable’ Kate Cuthbert, B+P ‘Utterly unputdownable, Love and Other Battles is equal parts heartwarming and heart-wrenching.
