Lucky Girl (Hardcover)

This is a captivating feel-good story about fathers and daughters, family ties, and the wonderful things that can happen when you allow new people, and unexpected events, to change your life. Stella Moon felt lucky to have a celebrity chef dad. Until her mum died...Unable to cope with two unruly teenagers and his dwindling stardom, Stella's dad hid away in his study. Stella and her brother mixed cocktails with stolen Advocaat, played in rusty cars and existed on Black Forest gateaux pilfered from the freezer. It was fun, but Stella couldn't help wishing her dad was like everyone else's...Now, Stella has made sure her life couldn't be further from her chaotic upbringing. She has a strict routine as a music teacher and a peaceful, tidy home. Until a mum and her two little girls move in next door...At first, Stella feels besieged. The girls hound her, bearing sticky gifts of edible jewellery and firing personal questions about her mum, dad, and men. But it's these kids who help her to confront her own childhood and start living life to the full...This is a beautifully written, moving and humorous story about fathers, daughters, and allowing new people into your life.
