'Collins perfectly balances the light and shade of life, resulting
in an uplifting and heart-warming book that proves to be the
perfect summer read' CULTUREFLY, JULY READS
------------------------------- A beautiful and heart-wrenching
story set over one hot summer in London, about a father and
daughter who help one another to step out into the world again,
perfect for fans of Jojo Moyes and Lucy Diamond. Prue is not
someone you would notice willingly. She likes to keep herself to
herself and fade into the background. If it weren't for the
birthmark on her left cheek, she might actually succeed at becoming
invisible. She spends all of her time with her blind father, Vince.
Scarred by a difficult past, they sit together in silence and
ignore the vibrant city just on their doorstep. That is, until
something forces them both to go outside and see what they have
been missing. For Vince, that means discovering how to see the
world without his sight. For Prue, that means finding the courage
to finally love and be loved in return. About family, second
chances and finding the courage to face your fears, this is a
moving story that will stay with you long after you have finished
the last page. 'Un utterly lovely book' DEBBIE JOHNSON, author of
THE MOMENT I MET YOU 'The perfect summer novel, we defy you not to
be captivated and will be urging them on to live the lives they
deserve' BELFAST TELEGRAPH 'A story about family, friendship and
facing your fears head on' COSMOPOLITAN, BEST BOOKS TO READ THIS
SUMMER 'A unique, compelling summer read, full of heart' SAMANTHA
TONGE, author of SUMMER SECRETS AT STREAMSIDE COTTAGE 'It's a
feel-good book, but what really stands out is Prue's voice. She's
known a lot of pain, and it all comes out in a tone which is
precise, impatient and cold, but which evokes immediate sympathy
for her and perhaps reveals more vulnerability than Prue realises'
