Synopsis – Onwards and Upwards
Ingrid is desperate to sell up and move on. Recently widowed, she no longer needs the large house or the treasures (and tat) collected by her late husband, Tommy, an auctioneer. Then there’s the debt he left her with, too.
So, she jumps at the chance to downsize and move to Willowbrook on a temporary lease. She’ll open a pop-up shop for just one year – to dispose of Tommy’s accumulated goods – and then move on. No getting embroiled in village life.
But Ingrid hasn’t reckoned on Willowbrook’s extrovert local ladies (known as the Saga Louts). Or handsome local craftsman Joel, with whom there’s a definite attraction. They all want to help set up ‘The Treasure Trove’.
Surprisingly, it turns out Ingrid can also help them.
Will she ever achieve the fresh start and simpler life she craved? Or will Ingrid discover a wonderful new way to move onwards and upwards?

My Review
Onwards and Upwards: A BRAND NEW hilarious, uplifting read from Celia Anderson for 2025 by Celia Anderson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is the second book I have read by this author.
Like the first, this book features the colorful older women crew of the village.
The story is engaging anf funny. The Saga louts crew are inspiring and encourage us all to keep living no matter what our age.
In this story, a woman moves into the village temporarily after she loses her husband. Of course, she does not expect some of the funny and moving situations she finds herself in.
I enjoy this author for her dedication to featuring women of all ages living life to the fullest or picking up the pieces after unexpected set-backs.
