Barbara B, Reviewer
A really good read. I thoroughly enjoyed following Molly's journey she packed such a lot into her life, travelling to Australia where she met Nancy whose life was so hard but they became the best of friends and they both had many struggles to overcome before they would find the happiness they deserved. The story was fantastic it had some great characters and was full of fun, warmth, charm and very emotional at times I really enjoyed it
