But after the Incident, everything in Milly’s life changes forever.

She is also ‘moving on’ in the present with a new school, a new friend and, above all, with the arrival of a gorgeous new boy in her shared house. Penelope Bush tells a dramatic and emotional story balancing pace and depth judiciously.

About Penelope Bush
Penelope Bush trained and worked as a tapestry weaver, but always knew that one day she would write.
She lives in West Sussex with her husband and son and elderly cat. She hides away in an old caravan to do her writing, where the only distraction is the occasional pheasant wandering past. Now and again, the family reclaim the caravan and it is towed down the coast to Dorset, where many happy hours are spent looking for fossils.
