Publisher's Summary
On the morning of 22 September 2006, Tegan woke up. She was expecting to spend the day relaxing at home and, that evening, tolerate a party thrown to celebrate her 46th birthday.
But things don't always go as expected it's been over twenty years since she chose to leave the Doctor. She's got a job, mates... a life.
