'Rosie shines a light on those who can find the determination to face down fate itself' - Northern Echo
Abandoned outside a hospital, baby Rebecca didn't have a good start. She's adopted, but her new father can't warm to her, and her mother can't succeed in turning the plain, unresponsive child into the little princess she longs for. When her adoptive mother dies, her greedy aunt takes her in, but hers is not a happy home, and soon Rebecca's life is worse than ever. She longs to escape to the circus that visits her town, with its carefree life and freedom from her past - but will she ever find happiness?

I couldn't get into this book as much as other Rosie Goodwin books I've read... It didn't seem to hold my attention and was so many different people innit and was very depressing at times but it did pick up towards the end and had a nice ending 👍
