Book description
Kat and Emily have grown up without their mother for almost as long
as they can remember. And now Dad is with Cassy and they all muddle
along together well enough - even though they are living in a cramped
caravan while their new house is being renovated. Then Cassy and Dad
tell them that Cassy is pregnant, and everything seems to shift. Emily
feels a new urge to find her own mother. How could she have left them
the way she did? Never writing to them? Not communicating with them?
And as Emily begins her search, not knowing what she will find, she is
at the same time embarking on a new relationship of her own, that of
her romance with Seb . . . An evocative and finely drawn novel about
family relationships, in particular that of mother and daughter, and
the shifting emotions of a teenager trying to make sense of her family
and her world.
