She knows from experience that men are trouble. \u003cbr\u003e Louise: a loving husband, gorgeous kids. She ought to feel more grateful. \u003cbr\u003e Jameela: all she's ever done is work hard, and try her best.

There are the friendly 'Hellos' when commutes coincide and the odd cheeky eye roll when the wine bottles clank in number 7's wheelie bin, but it's not exactly Ramsay Street. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The dilapidated community centre is no longer the beating heart of the estate that Becky remembers from her childhood. So the new pottery class she's helped set up feels like a fresh start. And not just for her. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The assorted neighbours come together to try out a new skill, under the watchful eye of their charismatic teacher, Sasha. And as the soft unremarkable lumps of clay are hesitantly, lovingly moulded into delicate vases and majestic pots, so too are the lives of four women. Concealed passions and heartaches are uncovered, relationships shattered and formed, and the possibility for transformation is revealed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eSara Cox is known and loved by millions of BBC Radio 2 listeners, where she presents her teatime show every weekday from 4-7 p.m. She developed a passion for broadcasting at BBC Radio 1 and presented the\u003ci\u003e Breakfast Show\u003c\/i\u003e for four years, reaching eight million listeners. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSara hosts the popular weekly TV book programme \u003ci\u003eBetween the Covers\u003c\/i\u003e on BBC Two and is a regular co-host on BBC One's \u003ci\u003eMorning Live\u003c\/i\u003e.
