BRAND NEW from the NUMBER ONE bestselling author of The Last List of Mabel Beaumont comes a powerful story of memory, loss, love, and new beginnings. Perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, Colleen Hoover and Jojo Moyes.

When Shelley Woodhouse wakes up in hospital from a coma, the first thing she says is that her husband must be arrested.

He’s the reason she’s in here. She knows it. She remembers what he did. Clearly as anything.

But there are things Shelley has forgotten too, including parts of her childhood. And as those start to come back to her, so do other memories. Ones with the power to change everything.

But can she trust these new memories, or what anyone around her is telling her? And who is the mysterious hospital volunteer who brings her food and keeps making her smile? Is it possible to find your future when you’re confused about your past?

An unmissable and heartbreaking story, guaranteed to have readers reaching for the tissues!

‘This is the kind of story that draws you in and will not let you go… Heartbreaking, heartwarming and absolutely stupendous. I loved it!’ Celia Anderson, author

‘Get your box of tissues ready when you read this book. Laura Pearson has written another beautiful story with a great emotional punch, and I loved every minute of it. A tough, eye-opening and important story told with compassion and sensitivity and characters who came alive on the page.An absolute must read.’ Louise Fein, author

‘Heartbreaking but brimming with hope. This wonderfully original and deftly crafted story hooked me from the first page. Shelley’s story will stay with me for a long time.’ Nicola Gill, author

‘Heart-wrenching, compassionate and empowering, Laura Pearson has done it again. An emotional five stars from me.’ Zoe Folbigg, author

‘I absolutely adored The Day Shelley Woodhouse Woke Up. I loved the dual timeline, it kept me guessing throughout, and I loved the cast of characters around Shelley – the friends and family who helped her find herself and her lost memories again. It dealt with some sensitive issues with care, and I was completely lost in Shelley’s world, desperate for her to rediscover her truth.’ Clare Swatman, author

‘Intriguing, moving and full of compassion… Will stay with me for a long time to come. In Shelley, Pearson has created a character who represents abused women as so much more than the victims of their abuser. Shelley is funny and brave, she’s a friend, a business owner, a daughter, a partner. Her strength shines through from the very first page… Part mystery, part emotional drama and entirely engrossing, I highly recommend you read this book.’ Lisa Timoney, author

‘Pearson’s characters may not be safe, but her readers always are. You know you’re in good hands when you pick up a book by Laura. In Shelley Woodhouse, we meet another strong and complex woman, who, in her search for the truth about her forgotten recent past, discovers not just facts but love and hope… Another beautiful story with humanity at its heart.’ Amy Beashel, author

‘Uplifting… The Day Shelley Woodhouse Woke Uphandles a serious topic with empathy and grace.’ Alison Stockham, author

‘Such an absorbing, compassionate and ultimately optimistic novel. I loved it.’ Kate Eberlen, author

From the Publisher

Dear Reader,

Thanks so much for taking a look at my books. I write what some people call emotional women’s fiction and others call book club fiction. It doesn’t really matter what it’s called – I mostly write about women living ordinary lives and the extraordinary things that sometimes happen to them. I set my novels in places I’ve lived – London, Leicestershire, Cheshire, Southampton – and I people them (mostly) with the kind of women I’d like to meet.

Some themes I find myself returning to again and again are sibling relationships, enduring friendships, women supporting women, and the tiny decisions that can alter the course of a life. I hope you find something here you’d like to read.

When I’m not writing or reading, I’m usually hanging out on Twitter (@laurapauthor), so I might see you there, too.

With love,

Laura
