General

A story of silence that must be told.

Shy, petite Daisy Croucher lives in other people's shadows and is practically invisible, even in her own family. She is surprised and flattered when popular pub local Jeff Singleton looks her way. 'Skinny Minnie, ' he calls her.

Jeff has a golden rule when it comes to women - never keep one for more than thirty days. Then he meets Daisy.

Life with Jeff is a roller-coaster ride, the likes of which Daisy never imagined. She soon discovers that marriage consists of more than playing happy families in the suburbs. Daisy's marriage has its secrets.

Raw, powerful and confronting, 'The Skinny Girl' positions the reader to walk a mile in Daisy's shoes. Can Daisy step out of the shadows and shine?
