Summary

A memoir of hope, healing and restoration, from star of TV's The Repair Shop, Suzie Fletcher.

Suzie Fletcher is the warm and friendly face on TV's The Repair Shop that viewers look forward to watching every week as the resident leather expert - a craft she has honed over four decades and was born out of her love of horses. But while she tends to be the one repairing and offering a gentle kindness to others, Suzie has also been in a process of change, reflection, and healing.

In her first book Suzie looks back over her life - which moves from England to Colorado and back again - and the places, people and experiences that have shaped the person she is today. We'll hear for the first time, how Suzie has overcome some of life's most difficult challenges, from complicated relationships to grief.

A self-confessed free spirit with a deep connection to nature, Suzie's exceptional warmth and zest for life shine through on every page, making The Sun Over the Mountains a truly inspiring read that will resonate with anyone who has faced uncertainty but has the courage and power within them to overcome it.

Featuring Suzie and her brother Steve in conversation - exclusive to the audiobook!

Wow

This was such a brilliant book. I couldn’t stop listening to it. I think your leather work is stunning when your on the repair shop when you’ve had so much to put up with in your life in America. I’m so pleased you came back to England and wrote this book suzie. It’s the best. X

Live and resilience in an unknown environment.

I enjoyed Susie's extraordinary history and her experience loss and grief resonated deeply. I wasn't too keen on the style of narration though - much preferred hearing Susie's own voice and reflections. Thank you for sharing such personal experiences with us Susie.

Captivating

This is by far my favourite audio book in my collection (and I have a lot) . Such beautiful writing. Thank you for sharing your story. I listened to it almost straight through in one go. It feels like such a privilege to listen to such a raw and honest account of life’s challenges and the complexity of relationships we experience with the people we love.

A very interesting listen.

I was captivated by Susie's whole life story. Emotional in places but these parts were critical to the overall story. Highly recommended.

An inspiring listen!

Like other listeners I only took a few days to listen to the whole book. Life’s lessons and reflections interweaved with Suzie’s great music playlist kept me enthralled. An open and honest reflection on life’s ups and downs- sometimes a hard listen - but engaging and enlightening reflections of some really tough times were very brave, and I’m sure will help some people to cope and hopefully be brave enough to take action if they find themselves in the same situation. Thank you Suzie for baring your soul and making this one of my books of the year!

Superb !

Just an amazing book. What a life Suzie has had, she’s such a strong lady. There were chapters that made me angry that she stayed with her husband who really was a bully for so many years, but she loved him and love always wins. I’m so glad she had good friends in the US that looked out for her. And Suzie on a Harley…. That will always make me smile. She has a fabulous talent as a “Leather Engineer” as she calls it, I’m so glad she’s back safe in the UK and we witness her talent in the Repair Shop. I would 100% recommend this book it’s powerful and passionate and well narrated.

Thought provoking

At times I was saying ‘get out of this, leave him’ but that would not have been the right thing for you I think. I too had parents who loved each other and brought us up to understand that we are all human beings with faults and goodness. You found that goodness in Rob and respected it.
I too, left my lovely family to pop into Australia for a short while but stayed over 40 years, mainly in the more remote areas. I recognise your willingness to see adventure and go for it. As an octogenarian back home again I always say ‘Good Morning World’ as I drink a cuppa, listen to the birds, so different to those raucous crows, and look forward to yet another day of surprises. Thank you for your sharing.

Difficult but ultimately uplifting

This is hard to listen to at times, but Suzie’s honesty takes you by the hand and leads you through the torment
do that you are standing with her as the sun cones over the mountains.
