  being discovered in bed with the next-door neighbours\, Clemence Lathbury
  returns to her hometown resolved to build a life for herself that is good
  and substantial\, to become the kind of sensible woman who won&rsquo\;t b
 e distracted by frippery and romance. It&rsquo\;s supposed to be <em>Eat\,
  Pray\, Love</em>\, without the love part. But no woman is an island\, and
  soon Clemence finds herself embroiled in neighbourhood drama\; beginning 
 a crusade at the local bookshop\; becoming adopted by a well-groomed\, one
 -eyed cat\; and being forced to admit her attraction to two very different
  men&mdash\;each a romantic lead in his own right. But how to choose? And 
 never mind the complications of her quirky family &hellip\;</p>\n<p>A nove
 l about friendship\, community\, and church jumble sales\, <em>Definitely 
 Thriving</em> is a celebration of people who are perfectly imperfect\, and
  all the love and support that&rsquo\;s required for one woman to make it 
 on her own.</p>\n<h4>About Kerry Clare</h4>\n<p>Kerry Clare is the author
