Description
Tracy is twelve. A change in holiday plans means she spends her summer with her older cousin, Flora. Flora's mother, may, runs a bed and breakfast business. Tracy doesn't know quite what to expect...
A kaleidoscope of events and encounters leads Tracy and Flora into new experiences. Unfamiliar feelings and dilemmas abound. The interweaving of relationships with friends, their families and many others, gradually opens up a world of creative possibilities for everyone.
This book is suitable for readers of all ages. Although it is a novel, it was written by a therapist with the specific intention of helping people to understand their feelings and communicate effectively about their emotional dilemmas, with a consequent opening up of positive choices in life.

Person
Mirabelle Maslin was born in Birmingham in 1947, and moved to Bramhall, Cheshire in 1952. She studied agriculture at Reading University, after which she worked in scientific research near Edinburgh until the birth of her three children - two sons and a daughter. Since then she has spent more than twenty years helping people with their emotional and relationship problems, together with providing nutritional advice where appropriate. She began writing in 2001 and has completed five books, of which Tracy is the second to be published. The writing of Tracy was specifically requested by a young friend who had recognised the importance of Mirabelle's attitude towards young people and their difficulties - which she demonstrates throughout the story of Tracy.
