Jodie Jones is obsessed with words. Yet she can't find the ones to say what happened that day five years ago, with her mum, on the bridge.
Struggling in school and at home, she takes comfort in her safe places: her books. Her best friend. And her brother's friend, Moses - who makes her feel something new.
But when hidden family truths come to light and life starts to implode, can Jodie Jones find the words she needs to save herself?
A compelling, witty, moving love letter to the magic of words.
Emma Shevah grew up in London but has lived and travelled in lots of countries. She studied English and Philosophy at Nottingham University and has an MA with Distinction in Creative and Professional Writing from Brunel.
Emma is half Irish and half Thai. Her great-great grandfather was King Rama I of Thailand, so by all rights she should be living a life of ease and luxury in the tropics. Instead, she spends her days dashing around rainy North London writing, teaching English and raising four children.
Emma likes nothing better than getting on a plane and going on an adventure and is currently cooking up a cunning idea for a book that will involve travelling to new and exciting places as frequently as possible.
