Contingency Planis a cross between a fairy story, a woman with a broken heart and a man with a mission. Sharon starts out as a sad woman, wanting like many others to do the best for her family. Mr Mann is trying to do the best for them too, but Sharon is unaware of this.
Although the story starts in the depths of despair, the love for family and friends comes through to throw some light and warmth into the lives of those who need it. I was aware of fantasy lurking in the background, never quite open, but plucking at the corner of the mind all the time and this made the story even more intriguing.
By the second half of the book I was longing to know how Sharon would solve her problems, and if she would be given a helping hand. Then the actual details of the contingency plan became known and left me guessing until the end whether there would be a happy ending or not.
A pleasant read but with a hidden undercurrent to the story.
