Julie Higgins has just published her debut novel following a rewarding 35-year career in the NHS as both an intensive care nurse and a midwife. Set against the backdrop of the rugged cliffs and golden sands of Woolacombe, North Devon, The Spirit In The Glass follows the madcap adventures of a group of real-life best friends with a wealth of treasured tales that were destined to be shared.
The book is inspired by the beauty of the countryside and the natural world, the unyielding power of the sea, and the matched strength of female friendships.
