Keep Work Human

I help burned-out moms raised in alcoholic families break the cycle of exhaustion and survival so they can navigate everyday challenges with more ease, reclaim their calm, energy, and peace, and enjoy being a mom again.

L.J. Newton writes contemporary romance about second chances, found family and the nerve it takes to start over. Her books are warm and funny, and they’ll hurt you a little too. In It’s Time, a woman who has lived thirty years in the wrong life meets the man she never forgot. In I Knew You When, the first book in her St-Ink series, two childhood sweethearts who grew up on either side of a council flat wall find their way back to each other. Book two is on the way. The feeling in her stories lives in small, real details: a fifty pence notebook, a lopsided heart on a cup, a bin bag of clothes. She writes close and honest, lets the heartbreak land quietly, and brings the humour in after to catch you. Her characters feel like people you already know, and her endings are the ones real life doesn’t always give us. She lives in the North East of England
