About the Author
After retiring from nursing, Hazel Smith took a Creative Writing course. "This whetted my appetite for short stories and poems, which I had been dabbling in for years." Thinking of her high school days and her interaction with some country girls, there came the idea to write about a naive but intellectually bright girl from an isolated mountain community who longed to escape and live in a big town, full of life and culture. Hazel Smith now lives in Worthing, West Sussex, and this is her first book to be published.
