Description
'July is such a brilliant creation - smart, inquisitive and determined' T.M. LOGAN author of The Holiday
___________________________________
Summer, 1995. July Hooper knows eighteen things about her mother.
Like number thirteen: she loved dancing on the kitchen table. And number eight: she was covered in freckles.
And then there's number two: she died after being hit by a car when July was small.
She keeps this list hidden in a drawer away from her father. Because they're not allowed to talk about her mother. Ever.
But an anonymous note slipped into July's bag on her tenth birthday is about to change everything she thinks she knows about her mum...
