"It is a year of firsts for 19 year old Ruth. She has just left home, just started university and is just falling in love. The future hangs before her, glittering and bright. Yet when her new boyfriend Anton begins asking probing questions about her scars, she is hurtled into the past ..."

I read this book a while ago now so the details are a bit hazy but it was an interesting read given that it was based around the author's experience with the medical profession. After reading this book I went on to read another of the author's books "Fat Like Me" which is a non fiction story about her weight problems and eventual gastric bypass surgery.

I am disappointed that there are no NZ book month celebrations this year to celebrate NZ writers so thought I would do some celebrating of my own by releasing a few books written by NZ authors in October. Happy travels.

This book is a bit special, as is the Reef Cottage B&B so I thought it was an appropriate spot for a release. The book is extra special because it is signed by the author. I left it in the bookshelf of our room at the B&B, I hope the finder enjoys it or passes it on to someone who might.
