Overview
Teenager Tina Walton thinks she is going to hell. That’s what everyone has told her, for as long as she can remember. Sure, she wants to be a good person like Grammer Esther, but her idiot snake mouth always betrays her. Amongst the hurt of a traumatic childhood, a family torn apart by war and the Great Flood, and a struggle with undiagnosed Tourettes, can an unexpected friendship help Tina find peace with the past and the hope of new beginnings? A gripping YA novel, ideal for fans of ‘A child called It’ by Dave Pelzer. A poignant tale of poverty and hardship, as a young girl struggles with issues of identity in the aftermath of the Second World War. Set against the backdrop of the Lynmouth Flood disaster, it is ultimately a story of love, acceptance, and the challenging nature of forgiveness. Sheila Jacobs author.
