Duckling

<i>Duckling's a nickname Lucy has never been able to shake off.</i> <i>And if she's honest maybe it suits her.</i> <i>She just isn't the type to socialise with other people.</i> <i>You might say she's reluctant to leave her nest.</i> <b>Lucy's life is small but safe. She's got a good routine. But all that's about to change...</b> When Lucy's neighbour asks her to look after her little girl for a couple of hours - and then doesn't come back - Lucy is suddenly responsible for someone other than herself. It takes courage to let the outside world in and Lucy's about to learn there's much more to life - but only if she's brave enough to spread her wings... ________________________________ Praise for <i>Duckling</i> <i> </i>'A poignant read' <b><i>Woman's Own</i></b> '[I] loved this gorgeous funny poignant and very human book' <b>Rowan Coleman</b><i><b> </b></i> 'Underlines the importance of friendship community and family while maintaining a galloping plot that keeps you gripped until the last page' <b>Sarah J Harris</b><i> </i> 'A lovely heart-warming story about the importance of friendship and family the power of forgiveness and about learning to love yourself' <b>Clare Swatman</b> <b> </b>'<i>Duckling</i> is joyous life-affirming and refreshing' - <b>Joanne Harris</b> <b> </b>'Combines uplifting and poignant moments with a plot that is so gripping it had me feverishly turning the pages!' <b>Jessica Ryn</b> 'Charming and compassionate dark at times yet peppered with joy'<b> Eleanor Ray</b>
