The Bed in the Shed: An uplifting and heartwarming story about the truths of family life.

Carrie Bradley is exhausted by household responsibilities—dishes, laundry, packed lunches—and feels undervalued by her family. When her husband cancels their family holiday to take a boys' trip to Vegas, she takes action: she moves into the garden shed. What starts as a quest for peace and quiet escalates into something larger. The situation creates domestic chaos, draws unexpected media attention, and forces her family to address issues they have been avoiding. With her outspoken sister Bex involved and her household in turmoil, Carrie begins to ask herself a question she has long avoided: what if she deserves more? The novel explores finding your voice, reclaiming your space, and refusing to become invisible in your own life. It was shortlisted for the Kindle Storyteller Award 2025.
