    About this ebook

    A girl is struggling with the fact that she has two houses and that she has to spend time at both because her parents are separated. She loves spending time with her mum and her dad but finds the handover difficult. Her mum lovingly explains that all families are different and that it doesn’t matter what their family looks like as long as it is filled with love.
