Synopsis
Is it possible to help yourself to happiness? Can you cosmically order the perfect life? Renowned life coach and radio presenter Megan Rowe certainly used to think so, she even wrote a best-selling book telling people how. But now, with the meltdown of her marriage unleashing all kinds of ghosts from the past, she is no longer sure. And if she is no longer able to 'live the dream' then how on earth can she advise other people? As Megan's carefully constructed house of affirmation cards begins to tumble it has an irrevocable effect on those around her. Cheddar Bailey, producer of her radio show and blogger extraordinaire, Natalie Taylor-Cassidy, aspiring young actress who will seemingly do anything for fame and Danny Nilsson, highly respected American war photographer harbouring a dark secret. Four very different characters searching for answers, seeking happiness and all hoping to 'find the plot' for the life stories they ought to be living. Siobhan Curham has woven together a heart-warming tale of hopes and fears whilst exploring our growing self help culture and eternal pursuit of happiness. READER REVIEWS OF 'FINDING THE PLOT' "Beautiful.Had me laughing out loud one minute and crying the next.

All the hallmarks of Curham's previous books are there - the superbly drawn characters, the warmth and the poignancy, but there is a new maturity and depth to this book that prompts you to make some searching questions about your own life." "Siobhan takes you on a journey of self discovery through the interwoven lives of Megan, Danny, Cheddar and Natalie, as they face their demons and learn to become masters of their own destiny, in her usual absorbing and heart-warming style. It will certainly make you think about your own life and how to be happy."

Customer Reviews

Not a good book-a great book!
This year's must read book, in fact it's the best book I've read in the last few years.This book will change how you think about life. Siobhan Curham has a unique voice that tells a compelling story that I could not wait to follow. I read part of it in the bath and the water was cold by the time I got out. Peopled with very real characters, that are so well realized that you feel you know them, Ms. Curham shows us the paths they take in their pursuit of happiness. It is also a very human book full of human emotions. Megan the main character is a slightly flawed life 'coach' and I defy anyone not to be touched by her journey, and more importantly, not to understand on a deeper level that maybe we might need to change a few things on ours.

Beautiful!
I had been looking forward to something new from Siobhan for ages and this didn't disaapoint. Had me laughing out loud one minute and crying the next. Emotional and thought-provoking, 'Finding the Plot' prompts you to make some searching questions about your own life as well as becoming engrossed in the lives of Megan, Danny, Cheddar and Natalie.

Riveting, emotional read
I'm normally a bit of a stop start reader but I could not put this novel down and read it in two sittings. It was a fascinating experience following such different characters as they all embark upon a journey of self discovery - to varying degrees of success. As well as being a cracking read you cannot help being inspired to make changes in your own life. The characters stay in your mind long after you've finished the final page. I thoroughly recommend this to anyone looking for an inspirational and heart-warming read.
