Punch and Judy Girl
CAUGHT BETWEEN FAMILY AND DUTY - CAN SHE FOLLOW HER DREAM?
Suffolk, 1925.
After the death of her father, a much-loved Punch and Judy man, May Moon packs her bags and moves to the seaside in the hope of continuing his legacy.
Already tasked with looking after her younger sister, May little imagines her summer will grow tougher still. Her long absent mother has finally returned - and with an agenda all of her own.
But as May struggles to balance her family's competing demands - and honour her father's legacy - she's surprised to discover her passion for performing grows ever stronger.
As the world around her begins to change, might she finally be able to find a dream of her own?
A warm-hearted and nostalgic saga perfect for readers of Katie Flynn and Sheila Jeffries.
