28-year-old single mother Sam spends her days working in the local supermarket and her Friday nights out with her friends letting her hair down at the White Horse. Life hasn’t been easy for Sam and her daughter, Beth (who always looks on the bright side) but she’s always hoped that one day she’ll break free from her past and meet The One.
But after a series of terrible dates with men she’s met through an internet dating site, that have all been as awful as her daughter’s terrible jokes, she’s starting to lose heart – until her friends tell her they’ve set her up on a blind date. Sam’s horrified but finally she agrees to go. After all you never know when you might meet the man of your dreams; just maybe Sam’s happy ending is just about to begin….
But will Sam have to face up to her past before she can find a new future?
‘Woman Walks Into A Bar’ is quite a strong story that grips the reader from the very first page. As the story tackles the issue of domestic violence, Rowan has kindly donated 100% of the royalties to the charity Refuge – The Domestic Abuse Charity, a charity who helps victims of domestic violence.
The story is seen through the eyes of Sam, a woman who has been unlucky in love. Bullied at school and then to fall victim in an abusive relationship, she lacks confidence in herself and self esteem, thinking that she is unworthy of true love, she falls for the wrong type of man but regularly thinks that she deserves the treatment she receives.
Encouraged and coaxed on by her bubbly and wise minded daughter Beth and her friends, Sam decides to try her hand at online dating and through a series of disastrous dates of no-showers or philanderers, Sam realises that she has to kiss a lot of toads before she finds her Prince Charming.
As well as written in the present sense, there are regular flashbacks as Sam thinks back on her life, when she was in an abusive relationship and just when she plucked up the nerve to get out.
In aid of a charity that offers all victims of abuse help, ‘Woman Walks Into A Bar’ is just not just a novella, it is a strong, inspirational and witty story that leaves an impact and shows that not all women have to suffer in silence but must of all it emphasises the point that everyone is entitled to find their happy ever after and to find love.
