Mrs Helen Buckfield
This book is written with gritty realism but nevertheless, reads like a modern fairy tale. August Jackson is a heroine for our times; endearing, relatable, and wholly believable. Her story is told with warmth, humour and empathy, compelling the reader to root for our girl as we share her trials and tribulations. All the supporting characters are so well-drawn that one cares about what happens to them; hoping they’ll receive their just reward or their just desserts, as the case may be! When August is thrown a lifeline from an unexpected source, the book begins its roll towards a very satisfying conclusion. Highly recommended.
