December Girl

**"One of the best debuts I have ever read." Linda at Books of All Kinds**Molly Thomas is a feisty, independent soul, born on the Winter Solstice in the beautiful Boyne Valley, Ireland. At every stage of her life, she has faced troubles. As a young woman, her family are evicted from their home at Christmas. Molly swears vengeance on the jealous neighbour and land agent responsible, Flann Montgomery. Then in 1896, her baby son is taken from his pram. While Molly searches the streets for little Oliver, the police are called but her baby is gone. Why does trouble seem to follow Molly? And will she ever find out what happened to her child?"A beautifully written, highly plotted debut, with loads of historical detail." Sue Leonard, Irish Examiner"A pleasure to read, even if it broke my heart." Trish at Between My Lines"An incredible debut." Mairead at Swirl and Thread"I didn't like it, I absolutely LOVED it." Celeste at Celeste Loves Books"I found it unputdownable, which in a life where I'm so easily distracted, is a difficult thing to be." Lisa at Bad Mammy"I can't believe this is a debut. It's the most captivating, character-driven story which is so beautifully written I could feel the emotion pouring off the page." Kerry at Chat About Books
