Review:

Praise for Nobody’s Girl and Sins of the Father:

‘This pageturner is a gritty tale of survival.’ Tesco magazine.

'Heartbreakingly poignant and joltingly realistic. From the first page the characters and their lives drew me in. It combines wonderfully accurate historical detail with true gritty realism in a book that fans of misery lit won't want to miss.' Annie Groves, author of Some Sunny Day.

‘Full of drama and heartache.’
Closer Magazine

‘I thought this was a thoroughly enjoyable read. In fact, I couldn’t put it down!’
