The Bed in the Shed

SHORTLISTED FOR THE KINDLE STORYTELLER AWARD 2025

Carrie Bradley has had enough.

Enough of the dishes, the laundry, the packed lunches—and most of all, of being taken for granted. So when her husband cancels their family holiday for a boys’ trip to Vegas, Carrie makes a decision.
