The Routes on Their Fridge Doors, a women's fiction concept package. The graphic shows 3 novel covers and the free lead magnet, The Magnet Shaped Like Home.

The concept

After a driving assessment, Carol Hill opts to stop driving. Her adult daughters pin a bus map to her fridge and begin organising lifts. Carol proposes a different arrangement: on Thursdays she will try a route with another woman whose life has got smaller. Across three novels, apparently modest journeys change who gets to decide where the women belong.

Sylvia takes the first bus that comes. Her family has already packed lunch for the trip they thought she was making. At the last stop an old friend is sitting outside a shop Sylvia remembers only as a ruin. The free companion novella is The Magnet Shaped Like Home.

The worldA Yorkshire market town and its ordinary bus routes. Mobility, income and stamina differ. Accessible stops are checked, assistance is offered by consent and the women can turn back.

Series tropesSmall Town • Grief to Hope • Underdog

Intended readershipFor women’s fiction readers interested in later-life friendship, ordinary autonomy and quietly consequential family decisions.

Tone & contentGentle but candid about ageing and loss. Each protagonist earns greater say over her own days.

The people behind the promise

Free novellaCarol Hill, a retired carer, and her divorced daughter Fran.

Book 1Sylvia Eaton, a retired seamstress, and her childhood friend Lil.

Book 2Wendy Mill, a recently widowed mother, and her daughter Ellen.

Book 3Jo Shilling, a newcomer caring for her older brother, and Carol.

Series arc

A souvenir magnet opens the door. One woman chooses a destination without a family errand, another tests a new home, and the last builds a daily life within reach of her own front step.

The three books

The direction is set. The books are written after you order.

The Magnet Shaped Like Home

Fran wants the map to show the quickest way to her house. Carol’s first magnet marks a stop nobody in the family recognises.

Fran learns that years of being relied on left her mother whole friendships nobody noticed. They try the route together, find a manageable bench and leave flowers. Carol goes again alone and marks a café as the second stop. Fran asks permission before fixing the third magnet.

Emotional payoffA map intended for supervision becomes Carol’s record of choice.

The Ticket That Let Mum Go

Ellen wants Wendy to view a flat by her grandsons. Wendy buys a return ticket first. The journey home is the part her daughter has forgotten to plan.

Story outline

Story arc and endingA trial visit reveals that moving would improve access to family and remove Wendy from her late partner’s friends. She spends one week in each place before deciding. Ellen admits she wanted reassurance about her own ability to cope. Wendy chooses a smaller flat on her old route and offers the grandsons a regular overnight on a day she chooses. The return ticket becomes a bookmark in her new kitchen.

Book 3 of three

The Stop Outside Her Own Door

Jo has learned every stop between her brother’s appointments. She cannot name a single place she would go for herself. A bus stop appears outside her building and she is oddly angry about it.

Story outline

Story arc and endingThe new stop blocks the small patch of quiet that was hers. Rather than campaign by reflex she rides the route with a neighbour who depends on it. Together they propose a seat and a screened planting bed. Jo asks her brother directly what help he wants and agrees a shared rota with others. Her first weekly outing is to an evening class; his is in the opposite direction.

Emotional payoffThe neighbourhood becomes a place they both inhabit instead of a series of duties.

Story focusFish Out of Water
