Imagine you are living in Leeds, you're preparing your birthday party and look forward to a happy day ...
and then you see the card of your friend whom you haven't talked to in two years because she had slept with your fiance and had fathered a child, and the card says that she's in hospital, dying of Leukaemia.
With conflicting emotions you leave your birthday plans behind and you travel to London, where your friend is. When you're there, she asks you a favour that wil lforever change your life:
She asks you to adopt her daughter Tegan who is five years old.
You promise to think about it, but when you hear that she is with her horrible grandfather and his nasty wife, you rescue her out of their hands ...
and now you have to deal with the hurt she has been through when they misstreated her, and a week later when her mother dies, you have to deal with a grieving child who has to go to a new environment ... and you haven't even gotten over your friend's death yourself!
Adding to that, your old boss, whom you were close to, leaves the company. The new one seems arrogant and doesn't seem to like you, but falls in love with the little girl the first time he sees her.
After a while he starts to like you and is a true help ...
the matter gets even more complicated when your ex-fiance and father of the little girl comes back into your life.
Now you have to deal with grieve because you lost your friend, working fulltime while dealing with a child ... and emotions about both the men in your life.
It all gets terribly tense on the little girl's birthday ...
this book is very very psychologic. After the first braille volume I sobbed my heart out. Part of me didn't want to continue reading, part of me thought it couldn't get any worse so I decided to go on and decided it was worth it.
Wouldn't read it again because I was too upset when the mother died and cried for half an hour, so be warned if you're very emotional.

The book was written by Dorothy Koomson. Not sure if you can get it where you are, I hope you can, it's good if you are interested in psychology, but, as I said, I'm warning you about the first volume, you'll cry a lot if you're like me lol.
