Refreshing, heartbreaking and magical; the most powerful first-person narrative I have read in years. Every mother should read this. * Cath Weeks *A brilliant insight into the life of a prisoner told in such a clever and sympathetic way… that will have you gripped to the very end. * Net Galley User *‘Hard to believe it’s a debut! It’s really accomplished and the main character was totally sympathetic with a refreshing and authentic voice that just carried me through the story. I couldn’t put it down - that voice, honest and … utterly compelling.’ * Jenny Blackhurst A fantastic read. 5****
