It's a brand new start all over again for Deb as she finds herself at the centre of attention after planning a protest to save West Beach. What lies in store for The Whitstable High Tide Swimming Club? Deb has finally cut her feckless husband loose, but in many other ways her life is spiralling out of control. With no home, no money, and a chaotic love life, she finds an unusual way to keep both body and soul together. She's not even sure of her friendship with Maisie anymore. But there's still something that bonds the two women together: their determination to stop anyone building on their beloved West Beach. And yet, as they begin to mount their protest, they find themselves threatened and ridiculed, and must fall back on every ounce of their resourcefulness to keep going. What would they do without the High Tide Swimming Club, whose intrigues, dramas and escapades keep them afloat in troubled waters? A heart-warming, funny and poignant story of romance, friendship, new beginnings and second chances.
