SOPHIE STANDING THERE (HB)

Sophie Pattison is a lovely person. She's cherished by her brother Laurie, adored by her best friend Emma and valued by her colleagues. Sometimes, it's true, one day in her life can feel like the entire month of January. Until one day she stumbles upon an author she hasn't read in years. Her books, interviews and podcasts soon become a lifeline. It's almost like love. And Sophie would love to meet the author, although she never will obviously. In a way, thank goodness, because that would change everything. Sophie's entire life. Wouldn't it?
