Lola

A struggling author gave Penny Cartwright the nickname of Lola thirty years ago but ten years later he walked out of her life leaving her hurt humiliated homeless...and pregnant. Penny came up with some fiction of her own when her daughter was born and Lucy has grown up believing she's the result of an affair her mother had with a married man who abandoned her when she told him about the baby. The author's a rich and famous novelist now although he has no idea he's a father and that's just the way Penny wants it to stay. She knows Lucy would be devastated if she ever discovered her own mother had lied to her all her life. And now the Universe has thrown something else into the mix: at the age of eighty-two Penny's father is about to marry again but there's no way she's going to let him get hitched to some gold-digging trollop called Marigold...
