An inspiring story of hope, friendship and love that will stay with you long after you turn the final page. What if the only thing you had left were the stories in your head Amina's homeland has been ravaged by war, and her family is devastated . . . The women of the family - Amina, her two sisters and their mother - have no choice but to leave their home town, along with thousands of others, and head for a refugee camp. But there are even more challenges ahead . . .
Jo Cotterill has worked as an actress and a teacher, but now writes full time in her writing shed in her back garden. She lives in a little village just outside Oxford with her husband and daughter. Jo plays the flute quite well and the piano quite badly, and loves cheese more than anything - even chocolate!
