About 'Amazing Grace Adams' from the back cover:

"Grace Adams gave birth, blinked, and now suddenly she is forty-five, perimenopausal and stalled - the unhappiest age you can be according to the Guardian. And today she finally has had enough. To the astonishment of everyone, Grace gets out of her car and simply walks away. Grace sets off across London, armed with a L200 cake, to win back her estranged teenage daughter on her sixteenth birthday. Because today is the day she'll remind her daughter that no matter how far we fall, we can always get back up again. Because Grace Adams used to be amazing. But everyone seems to have forgotten. Grace is about to remind them...and, most important, remind herself."

VPL has Fran Littlewood's debut novel 'Amazing Grace Adams' available in both regular type and large type.
