Muriel Freeborn píše s cílem oslovit čtenáře všech věkových kategorií, od nejmladších po ty nejstarší. Její psaní, které začalo jako terapeutická činnost, se ukázalo jako nečekané potěšení, inspirované životem zesnulé přítelkyně. Autorka se zaměřuje na témata, která rezonují napříč generacemi, a její díla jsou psána s ohledem na různé životní zkušenosti. Ve své tvorbě klade důraz na spojení mezi lidmi a na sdílené lidství, které překračuje věk.

Right from an early age, Susan's life revolves around her family, her friends and her piano. She needs all three and tries hard to get her priorities right, as each makes demands on her attention. She weathers busy years. Retirement finds her more relaxed and able to enjoy the company of those around her, still contributing with her music in the community. There is nothing disturbing in this book. It relates to the undulations of life we all experience. In our lives, unexpected things do happen; Susan is no exception.
