Full Description

 'What a powerful, entertaining book! This charming memoir is a must read for anyone at a crossroads in life.' - Lorraine Kelly, CBE, broadcaster and author

What if your biggest challenge became your greatest adventure?

One day, Dr Rhona Morrison was a respected forensic psychiatrist planning for retirement. The next, on her birthday, she became a widow, stepping into an uncertain and unplanned future alone. But as Rhona soon discovered, an ending can also be a beginning - if you grasp the opportunities life presents.

In this warm, witty, and inspiring memoir, Rhona shares how she navigated the twists and turns of her loss and subsequent reinvention, transforming her grief into opportunity. From launching an art business and writing her first book, I Don't Talk to Dead Bodies, to becoming a cruise ship lecturer and embarking on global adventures, she tackled each step with an open heart. Along the way, she discovered unexpected joys, new passions, and a renewed sense of purpose.

From Crime Scenes to Cruise Ships is an uplifting story of resilience, reinvention and embracing the unknown. Whether you're facing loss, retirement, or a major life shift, Rhona's journey is a reminder that even when life feels uncertain, you still have the power to shape your future. It may not look like you once imagined, but it can still be rich with meaning, adventure and possibility.

Your story isn't over; the next chapter is waiting. So, let's turn the page and step into what comes next - together.
