The Words We Chose First, a women's fiction concept package. The graphic shows 3 novel covers and the free lead magnet, The Word on Her Lunch Tin.

The concept

At an adult reading class in Leeds, nobody starts with the same page. A dinner lady wants to sign the card she has always passed on. A skilled cook wants her own version of a family recipe. A grandmother wants to read a letter without letting somebody else decide which parts matter. Across three novels the women become friends without being folded into one inspirational success story.

Sharon’s daughter has signed every form since the divorce. A family petition arrives with Sharon’s name already on it. She agrees with the cause and still wants the signature taken off. The free companion novella is The Word on Her Lunch Tin.

The worldA small, voluntary class meets in a familiar neighbourhood hall. Adults have different reasons for disrupted schooling. Progress is uneven, private and never a cure for grief or exclusion.

Series tropesUnderdog • Grief to Hope • Opposing Morals to Moral Growth

Intended readershipFor book-club readers who want women’s friendships, adult learning and satisfying changes in agency beyond romance.

Tone & contentWarm, candid women’s fiction. Class stigma, grief and family friction. Each heroine makes and sustains a choice of her own.

The three books

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

Free novella

The Word on Her Lunch Tin

Betty has recognised her lunch tin by its dent since her husband died. When the kitchen buys identical tins, she wants one small thing written in her own hand.

Story outline

She invites Kath to one session as a learner, where Kath admits she also left school early. Betty takes her tin home labelled with her full name and invites the kitchen team to the next open afternoon.

She speaks at a meeting and invites the other workers to tell their own stories. They change the wording. Sharon signs the revised document in her own hand, with Mel watching only because she has asked her to. The two find a new way to help each other.

Book 2 of three

The Recipe Read in Her Voice

Yvonne can feed forty people from memory. Her sister plans to publish their mother’s recipe exactly as written. It has never tasted like the meal the women remember.

Story outline

Story arc and endingYvonne records herself cooking and compares that account with the handwritten version. Their mother adjusted the recipe for a sister who could not afford the richer ingredients, an act the family had misremembered as favouritism. Yvonne asks her grandson to type her words while she learns to annotate the recipe herself. The final family book prints both versions and names both cooks. She reads her short introduction at supper.

Emotional payoffCompetence was there before the lesson. Now Yvonne can decide how it will be remembered.

Story focusSingle Parent

Length55,000 words planned

Read This One to Yourself

Every Saturday somebody reads Marian’s sister’s old letters aloud. They always stop at the same little joke. Marian suspects there is one more line after the laugh.

Story outline

Story arc and endingMarian learns privately and discovers earlier readers skipped an invitation to visit because they assumed she could not travel. The sister is alive and still angry about the unanswered invitation. Marian phones without asking a relative to arrange it. Their first visit is awkward and followed by another. She keeps future letters in a drawer only she opens, and continues the class for pleasure.

Emotional payoffThe most important word she learns is one she gets to keep to herself.

Story focusFish Out of Water
