Mia is telling me a story Its about a princess who lives in a castle on a street that bears a remarkable resemblance to ours About a kind old lady whos the queen Im distracted for a moment by her little hand softly slipping into mine My daughter My angelBut then she says something that pulls me from my reverie She says that the queen doesnt treat the princess well She punishes her and doesnt let her eat anythingHelen my neighbour has been so good to me And more importantly shes so good with the children Surely this is just another story of Mias just make believeBecause if its not maybe my dad was right all along I was never good enough to be a mother and Ive let my precious children down in the worst way possibleA heartbreaking and uplifting story about the choices a mother makes for the sake of her children perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult Emma Robinson and Kate Hewitt
