Now Is All There Is (Aphrodite) - Softcover

The second book in the revised edition of The Aphrodite Trilogy

“The phone rang.  I picked up the receiver and without waiting to hear who it was, said, “Where are you?  You’re late.”

It wasn't him.  A voice said, “Is that you, Emily?  Are you alone?”  

The disembodied voice sounded odd; I heard a cough.

“Yes ... who is that?”

My mind was confused.  I was so sure it would be him, I couldn’t understand.

“You better sit down.  I’ve got some ... terrible news.”

I sat down obediently, feeling like a child. 

I knew ... in that moment, I knew.” 

Emily returns to Cyprus, not knowing where her life is going; Luke is distant, her friends have gone, everything has changed.   She meets Beth, a young airman’s wife, whose life is as precarious as hers and they form an unlikely friendship.  At the end of the school year, she goes home to their Cotswold cottage, hoping that life will go on as before and that maybe she’ll find herself again.  But Luke’s unexpected posting leads her to make the biggest decision of her life and pushes her down a road that can only end in tragedy.  Luke has never stopped loving her though and finally, that is what saves her from herself.

       “A totally gripping sequel to Aphrodites Child”

       “I was engrossed in the storyline from the beginning, wanting to know more about life for     Emily after Cyprus and I wasn't let down”

       “It's about love, life and survival in the forces.”

       “It was so hard to put down; it took me only a day and half to read because it was an emotional and heart-gripping storyline.”
