Little Bird (Girlfriend Fiction 13)

Description

Ruby-lee is cynical about love; after all, she's watched her sister Shandra call off her wedding three times a week. But when Shandra volunteers her to babysit her friend's seven-month-old baby, Ruby-lee discovers just what love means. First, she's overcome by powerful feelings for tiny Maisy; then she starts spending time with Maisy's dad, Spence. She even begins to imagine a future together, as a family. But where will Ruby-lee's fantasies lead? And what sort of trouble could they get her into? When it looks like Ruby-lee might lose everything, she has to discover what love truly is to find her own heart.

Penni Russon grew up in Hobart, roaming around on a small mountain and making up stories about imaginary lost pets with her best friend. She used to write poetry until she discovered novels were a lot more forgiving. Her first novel with Allen and Unwin, The Indigo Girls, was published in February 2008 in the Girlfriend Fiction series to great acclaim and was longlisted in the State Library of Victoria's Centre for Youth Literature Inky Awards. Penni lives in St Andrews, Victoria, with her husband and two daughters, and maintains a sometimes daily blog called Eglantine's Cake.
