Emma Comes Home Ann Baker

The beginning of this book is based on a true story. It comes as a shock when you have grown up believing you are poor, and there has never been any money for clothes, holidays and celebrations, and you then discover perhaps it was never true... and someone had been telling lies for years and years. The biggest revelation is that parents sometimes lie and deceive, and things aren't quite what you have always believed. This story is about Emma's journey - not just moving from one place to another, but a journey to find that if you have never had money from birth, you appreciate it so much more, and to realise what a difference it can make, and the pleasure and excitement of that discovery.
