About this ebook

The Girl in the Mirror is a moving and gripping story of a young woman who tries to piece together her past and uncovers a dreadful family secret that has been buried and forgotten.

When Mandy learns her much-loved Grandpa is dying, she is devasted and returns to the house where she spent so many wonderful summers as a child. But the childhood visits ended abruptly and those happy days are now long gone. Having lost touch with the rest of her family, Mandy returns as a virtual stranger to her aunt's house to nurse her grandfather.

Mandy hardly recognises the house that she loved so much as a child and it is almost as though her mind has blanked it out. But as certain memories come back to her, Mandy begins to piece together the events that brought a sudden end to her visits that fateful summer. What she discovers is so painful and shocking that she understands why it was buried and never spoken of by the family for all those years.

Ratings and reviews

I got the free sample, and it was ine page, not even a single word about the book. If I could give it 0 stars, I would it's not okay. I will not buy a book I know nothing about. Its a bit of a poof do.

I paid £3.49 for a sample of the book. It didn't state it was only the sample as if it did I wouldn't have paid that much for less than 14 pages of a book. Feeling ripped off big time

The sample doesn't even go to the list of chapters. Not purchasing without sampling, especially since people have said her fiction isn't as good as her non-fiction.
