Saving Francesca - Softcover
How can you fall in love when your family's falling apart?
Francesca's mum has high expectations. And Frankie never seems quite to live up to them. Since she started at her new school, the pressure feels even greater. She must be individual, courageous, true to herself . . . Trouble is, Frankie doesn't know who she is any more. Especially when her strong, capable mother has a breakdown and Frankie finds herself looking after her little brother, blaming her dad for everything, trying to help her mum get better and somehow, strangely, falling for William Trombal. Through falling in love and finding new friends, Frankie realises that she's the one with the key to bringing her family together again.
