'This book is already an exciting and a really moving story. I’ve only read the first part of the story and yet it has a young brave girl who is facing many changes, who keeps going but still not giving up. Having to leave her siblings behind and even managing to stand up to those she loves. It is heartbreaking that this young girl thinks that she is the difficult one and that her mother loves her brother and sister more than her. This little girl has left everything she’s lived with since being a small girl behind. She is sent off to a place she barely knows with a father she rarely sees.
It fills my heart with wonder and makes my mind bubble with questions for what will happen next in this spectacular story.'

Response: Thank you so much for writing this, Lyra, it's wonderful! You are a budding writer yourself, I'm sure. So pleased you are enjoying the story about a girl (me) when I was exactly your age. Hope you read on and enjoy the next installment. Christine
That's brilliant! So pleased you are enjoying it, Daniella , and new installment coming soon. Am just writing it right now in the garden shed at Gundreda, thinking of all the jobs I should be doing in the garden but the draw to get back to 1953 in My Father's House more powerful.
