Alone - Pip Granger

In 1950s London, a little girl is busy being brave. The only daughter of alcoholic parents,Pip Granger spent much of her childhood on the margins of society;on the outside of life,looking in. Drink was the factor behind the series of crises, the furious rows and life-threatening accidents Pip had to contend with. It also explained why her home life was so very different from that of most other people she knew. Bullied at school,neglected by her parents, and cared for,at times, by complete strangers, Pip realized that there was only one way to turn her life around.One day she would have to cut loose from her family and have to build her own life- alone. Set in the world when sheets and blankets were washed by hand, bananas were a luxury,and seperation and divorce were shameful events, Alone is a brave,original and totally authentic book about a young girl's courage in a trouble-filled world.
