The Girl with Stars in her Eyes

It's her First Holy Communion Day and eleven-year-old Doll Redmond has one special wish: to escape her joyless life. What she doesn't realise, is that her wish is about to come true. Her mother Sally, sitting beside her in the church, knows one thing for sure: her husband, Dan has been lying to her. But before she gets to confront him, the unthinkable happens. Sixteen-year-old Andi is madly in love with Steve. She doesn't know it yet, but he's going to rock her entire world. Dan has been hiding a secret. He knows that it's time to tell Sally the truth . . . even if it costs him his marriage. The Redmond family is facing into a storm. This is a life-affirming story about the fragility of family relationships, about love and hope and about how, when the heart dreams deeply, magic happens.
