Sarah Turner lives in Devon with her husband and three sons.
After graduating with first-class honours in Philosophy from The
University of Exeter, she dabbled in careers in finance then higher
education before a 'warts and all' parenting blog she'd started to
let off steam gathered unexpected momentum and writing became her
full-time job.
She has since written three Sunday Times bestsellers- The Unmumsy
Mum, The Unmumsy Mum Diary and The Unmumsy Mum A-Z. The Unmumsy Mum
was voted number 4 in Amazon's Top 10 books of 2016 (as voted for
by Amazon customers) and was also shortlisted for Book of the Year
(non-fiction, lifestyle) at the 2017 British Book Awards.
Stepping Up is Sarah's first novel, the spark of an idea coming
from a conversation about will-writing and more specifically
guardianship, should the unthinkable happen.
Sarah likes bookshops, walks on Dartmoor (when the kids aren't
whingeing) and pretends to like running, though she's started Couch
to 5k three times and keeps ending up back on the couch. She
doesn't like coffee, films with sharks in or writing about herself
in the third person.
You can follow Sarah's reading, writing and parenting adventures on
Facebook, Instagram and Twitter (@theunmumsymum).

What a fantastic read - it had me in tears! This book grabbed me by
the heartstrings and didn't let go! It has it all - warmth, humour
and brilliant observations on love, life and loss. An emotional
rollercoaster of a read and one that is well worth taking!

Stepping Up is a heart-blasting triumph of a novel - wise, witty
and wonderfully human.
