Testing, Testing, One, Two Teens Meet Lizzie, the exasperated mother of Cassie, Connor and Stepdaughter Maisy. She gets by with good friends, cheap wine and talking to herself. Teenager Cassie, the Facebook-tweeting, selfie-taking, music and mobile phone-obsessed daughter, hates everything about her life. She longs for a different existence and wishes her parents had never divorced. However, the discovery of a terrible betrayal, and a brutal attack, throws the whole household into disarray. Lizzie and Cassie are forced to reassess the important things in life as they embark upon separate journeys of self-discovery . . . Although tragic at times this is a delightfully funny exploration of domestic love, hate, strength and ultimately friendship. A poignant, heartfelt look at that complex and diverse relationship between a mother and daughter set amongst the thorny realities of today’s divided and extended families. Mothers and daughters alike will never look at each other in quite the same way after reading this book—a brilliantly funny observation of contemporary family life. 183 Times A Year is the first book in The Tree of Family Life Trilogy. A witty and heartfelt family drama it will appeal to fans of authors like Jojo Moyes, Fiona Valpy, and Sophie Kinsella.

"A beautiful story about family." "A light read, filled with a wide variety of quirky, dysfunctional characters." "Observational wit to die for, poignancy and pathos, in a superbly crafted debut novel; great storytelling." "A roller coaster of emotions in one book—amazing!" "Fantastic—a must-read for any parent"
Autorenporträt
Eva Jordan was born in Kent but has lived most of her life in a small Cambridgeshire town. She has a degree in English and History and describes herself as a lover of words, books, travel and chocolate - and the odd glass or two of wine. Her career has been varied and has included working for the library service, and in a women's refuge. She is both a mum and step mum to four adult children, and Nanna to two beautiful grandchildren. Navigating blended family life has, for the most part, proved to be a wonderful, rewarding experience. Nonetheless, there were times when she found it extremely challenging - especially when the children were all teenagers! However, it was those very experiences that provided Eva with the inspiration for her three novels, 183 Times A Year, All The Colours In Between, and Time Will Tell; family based dramas that take a delightfully funny but at times, tragic and poignant look at contemporary family life. As well as writing novels, Eva also writes short stories and is a columnist and book reviewer for her local lifestyle magazine, The Fens.
