The Family Gift
by Cathy Kelly
Snappy Review
Whereas before I could almost guess where everything is going, the last couple of books have had a refreshing and tiny twist. Enjoyable, utterly human, with giggle out loud moments!
Book Synopsis
A warm and wise story from international bestseller Cathy Kelly about how it’s never too late to find your place in the world.

On the inside, she’s got Mildred – the name she’s given to that nagging inner critic who tells us all we’re not good enough.

But Freya knows that when life gives you lemons, you throw them right back.
Can Freya put her family – and herself – back together? Find out in Cathy Kelly’s warmest, wisest and funniest book yet…
