'An uplifting and beautiful true story'

* Heat Magazine *

‘It's a witty, honest and poignant novel that is not only inspiring, but a total joy to readThe Girl With The Nine Wigs is so uplifting that you just want it to go on and on, and it's strange: I often shyed away from memoirs, thinking they'd just be drawing on the past, that they'd upset me...but the book is so, important… I don't think that I'll ever forget reading this book. I don't know what I was expecting when the publishers sent me a copy, but not this: it was absolutely brilliant, and completely unmissable’
