About this ebook
Warm, funny and heart-breaking, this short-story prequel to THE ONE IN A MILLION BOY - the book on everyone's lips - will make you laugh and cry with the turn of a page. If you loved The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and The Shock of the Fall, this is for you...
There's someone you should meet. But, before you do...
She's just turned one hundred. She doesn't want a birthday party. Or a TV interview. She's too busy practising for her driving test. And hoodwinking church visitors with magic tricks.
She's Miss Ona Vitkus. And she's one in a million.
What readers are saying about A WOMAN IN A MILLION:
'A touching story and so well told. Excellent book'
'The characters, the plot and the writing are something very special indeed'
'A wonderful short story about a remarkable woman. Ona has so much spirit, I immediately loved her'
