Here’s the blurb for The Wabi-sabi Doll

After fourteen months of living in her home from home, Tottori, a town by the coast on the Sea of Japan, Londoner Kimberly Thatcher should have been settled in her job. She should have been happy with her new boyfriend Naoki. She should have been moving on with her life after traumatic events of the previous year had finally been buried. Or had they?

When her abusive ex-fiance, Carl, made an unwelcome return to Japan, in a seemingly picture-perfect new relationship, Kimberly found herself having to confront demons that she thought had been put to rest. Soon after Carl’s arrival, a mysterious Japanese doll appeared on her doorstep, and a fateful encounter with a sexy stranger, Shinichi, set her life on a different path.

What messages did the Wabi-sabi doll hold for her? Why did her life unravel as an obsessive fixation with the doll began? Would Kimberly’s dark past consume her, or would her soul-searching downward spiral end?
