English
By (author): Sheila Norton
Mia is telling me a story. Its about a princess, who lives on a street just like ours. Im distracted for a moment by her little hand softly slipping into mine. My daughter. My angel.
But then she says something that snaps me back to reality. She says that theres an old lady whos a queen, and whos kind. Except that she doesnt treat the princess well. She punishes her and doesnt let her eat anything
Helen, my neighbour, has been so good to me. And more importantly, shes amazing with the children, looking after them when I am struggling as a single parent, having escaped an abusive relationship. Surely this is just another story of Mias, just make believe?
But if its not, what if my own father was right, and I was never good enough to be a mother in the first place?
I tighten my grip on my sweet, trusting little girls hand. And vow I will do whatever it takes to protect her
A heartbreaking and uplifting story about the choices a mother makes for the sake of her children, perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, Emma Robinson and Kate Hewitt.
