Fran desperately wants to be treated like an ordinary teenager.
Paralysed from the waist down and confined to a wheelchair, Fran realises she hasn’t much of a future, but when she goes into Thornton Hall Residential Home, things begin to look up. For a start, she has a room of her own for the first time in her life. And pretty soon there’s someone else to think about: eighteen-year-old Luke Hawkins. After all, who better than fiercely independent Fran to help a young boy who has just lost both his legs in a road accident? A book of sweet and sour emotions that will bring tears of admiration and amusement as well as sadness.
