Princess Diana saved my life. My name is Diana Moore and I'm the kind of girl who doesn't stand out in the crowd. Average height. Average brown hair. the only thing not average about me is that I seem to land in trouble on a regular basis. My Mum died suddenly over a year ago. She left me with a stepfather who is a loser and his loudmouth son, Marcus. If it weren't for Babs and my letters to Princess Diana, I'd be crazy by now. On the tenth anniversary of Princess Diana's death comes this powerful novel about the power of celebrity, and growing up the hard way. Letters to a Princess was commended in the Society of Women Writers of NSW bi-annual awards.
