Warm, funny, and full of unexpected tenderness, A Statement of Intent is a story about finding your people, folding fitted sheets, and building a home in the most unlikely of places. When developers threaten to replace the launderette with luxury flats, Fern finds herself leading a community campaign to save it. Along the way, she discovers that the life she was supposed to want isn't the life she needs, and that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is stop spinning and let yourself be still.
