Books Included in This Collection:
According to Yes
Glenn Wilder-Bingham’s kingdom is challenged when Rosie Kitto, a 38-year-old primary school teacher from England with a secret sorrow, enters the family’s carefully ordered world. As long-held rules begin to bend, the Wilder-Bingham clan confronts the consequences of saying no for too long. This novel blends sharp wit with intimate, emotional stakes, delivering a story about boundaries, belonging, and what happens when the courageous choice is to say yes. A vivid, page-turning opening to a multi-voiced collection that sets the tone for the others.

A Tiny Bit Marvellous
Mo Battle is about to turn 50, parenting two moody teenagers, and discovering that a wild urge is stirring behind the everyday. Dora blames Mo for everything, while Peter idolizes his own version of Wilde. In this tenderly comic, candid portrait of midlife, families teeter on the edge of a precipice as Mo wrestles with a decision that could upend everyone’s carefully constructed worlds. It’s funny, fearless, and finally deeply human as it examines love, loyalty, and the wildness that can save a life.

Oh Dear Silvia
In a hospital room, Silvia Shute lies in a coma while family and friends gather to share their memories, beliefs, and guesses about who she truly is. Secrets surface, memories sharpen, and the truth about Silvia emerges again and again. This is a novel of concealed lives, the way small moments define us, and the fragile dignity of finding out who someone really was—long after they can tell you themselves. A quiet, powerful exploration of memory and meaning.
