Critics Review
A mother dreams big for her teenage children - but is she making them live her thwarted dreams? And what price will she pay if she ignores theirs?– From the Publisher’s Description
Heartfelt and deeply moving but also so gripping it is almost impossible to put down * Irish Independent *
A first class novel which I couldn’t put down. It was both heartbreaking and heartwarming. The difficult subjects of the novel are dealt with in a sensitive way and the book was a joy to read * Woman’s Way *
