Carry the Beautiful

Tilda Rudd’s ability of controlling her feelings and slapping on a smile is severely tested after reaching her fortieth birthday. Her past must be confronted and she can’t put it off much longer. Journeying down Memory Lane reveals a young woman open to possibility, and at odds with the tightly wound control-freak she has become. Is it the alcoholic solicitor or the travelling artist that hold the key to where it all went wrong? And who is the angry old man with just days left to live?

Carry the Beautiful is a witty yet emotionally charged story of one woman’s mid-life crisis. It is the tale of growing up, of loss and the unwitting compromises people make, long before they realise their consequences.
