Produktbeschreibung

PRE-ORDER THE SPELLBINDING MEMOIR NOWOne of the world's bestselling storytellers, Lesley Pearse writes brilliantly about survivors. Why? Because she is one herself . . . Born during the Second World War, Lesley's innocence came to an abrupt end when a neighbour found her, aged 3, coatless in the snow. The mother she'd been unable to wake had been dead for days. Sent to an orphanage, Lesley soon learned adults couldn't always be trusted. As a teenager in the swinging sixties, she took herself to London. Here, the second great tragedy of her life occurred. Falling pregnant, she was sent to a mother and baby home, and watched helplessly as her newborn was taken from her. But like so many of her generation, Lesley had to carry on. She was, after all, a true survivor. Marriage and children followed - and all the while she nurtured a dream: to be a writer. Yet it wasn't until at the age of 48 that her stories - of women struggling in a difficult world - found a publisher, and the bestseller lists beckoned. As heartbreaking as it is heartwarming, Lesley's story really is A Long and Winding Road with surprises and uplifting hope around every corner . . .
