ina Whitehouse lives in a small cottage in Yorkshire. She enjoys theatre, painting, and people. Her interests include writing, gardening, and surprising others. She is like a chameleon, and can transform from a 40’s glam outfit to a baseball cap and track suit in the twinkling of an eye. She has two grown children and five grandchildren ranging in age from 20 to 10 years old. Her grandchildren call her “The Wicked Witch of the North” (affectionately, of course) and enjoy her zest for life. Nina is a cancer survivor and this novel grew out of her visualisation exercises to fight the disease. She would like this book to be an inspiration to all women to be strong and follow their dreams.
