Opis

This moving account of true experiences in the early life of a young girl is all the more remarkable for the fact that at the time of writing the author was only twelve/thirteen years old. It begins as a charming story of life in a close-knit Asian family in England and the love of not only her parents but also her grandparents in India. Although at times she can be driven to distraction by the actions of her younger sisters, the need to set an example as the eldest sister always prevails. The story develops into a chronicle of dramas that culminated in the need to take her father to India to undergo life-saving neurosurgery and their return to find that their house had been burgled. The girl slowly realises that life is not always about happiness and great pleasures. It becomes a rollercoaster of experiences in which she learns that whilst some friends can be fake, there are also others who care for her. Life is like an ocean journey. The ocean can be angry, but the important thing is to stay calm and trust those who care for you. Soon you will be ashore because every ocean has an island.
