In the sequel to the hugely popular, Aphrodite's Child, in Now Is All There Is, Emily returns to Cyprus to try to mend her broken marriage. She befriends and helps Beth, a young airmen's wife, whose own life is in turmoil. Their paths lead them back to England, where they meet again in the rugged surfing world of North Cornwall. Just as the Mediterranean influenced her life in Cyprus, so too does the Atlantic cast its spell over Emily's fortunes. Her tangled life eventually implodes and she has to face a drama that fate has planned for her all along. But she finds that her destiny is not written in the stars. It's within herself.
