“All Good Things” by Amanda Prowse is a captivating and thought-provoking novel. This well-written and amazing story revolves around the concept that “The grass is greener on the other side of the fence,” The author vividly describes her dramatic characters as complex, complicated, quirky, and dysfunctional. Have you ever envied a neighbor or family near you and wished you were part of that group? This reminds me of when my son was very young, and he was upset with the rules in our home. I told him, “Do you think you could find Another Family that loves you more than us?” My 6-year-old answered a neighbor’s name, who lived a few houses away. Needless to say, that didn’t happen, but he thought that everything was wonderful there.
Daisy Harrop wishes she could be part of the Kelleway family, who are wealthy, and have a beautiful home with roses and flowers everywhere. Daisy’s mom is depressed, and her house looks run-down and shabby. Daisy Harrop works as a waitress at the restaurant that The Kelleways take to celebrate the elder’s golden anniversary. As she watches and listens to what is happening, she envies them.
If only Daisy could have a magical mirror to see what is realistically happening with the Kelleway family, she would be surprised. Both families would be shocked to know that surface appearances sometimes don’t reflect the true circumstances.
I love how Amanda Prowse discusses the importance of honesty, communication, family, friends, love, and hope. I would highly recommend this memorable and heartfelt novel to others.
