*Oscar-winning actress Julia Roberts set to star in major movie adaptation*

‘I am for women who are not done. Who are never done.’

Meet Punch Tillis. 2027's most formidable heroine

A one-time homemaking icon who inspired women to embrace independence, ambition and self-belief – before she lost everything in disastrous circumstances.

But this is not a woman to underestimate.

Because Punch is about to use every skill she once taught to take back what she’s owed.

A novel about the unbreakable spirit of one unforgettable woman, and the right to own your own story.
