Covering a massive range of emotional issues in an easy-read, fun, heart-warming tale, this is a pure delight. We start with the death of Brown Owl, Judith, and follow the story of her daughter Lucy and the other Pixies from her Brownies through life-changing experiences and self-discovery. Dealing with sex, alcohol, affairs, weight, suicidal thoughts, babies and ambitions, all life is observed. Each chapter begins with a Brownie saying or just a sentence about how a person should conduct themselves which, as an ex-Brownie, brought the whole experience flooding back, very thought provoking, very nostalgic. I laughed out loud at times and was brought up short with surprise at others, and all in all I loved it hugely.

Shy, sweet-natured Lucy Collins is used to being pushed around. For the first eighteen years of her life, her widowed mother Judith ruled the roost. Now Lucy's husband, her seven-year-old daughter and even Buster the cat boss her about. But her mother's premature death leaves Lucy an orphan at the age of thirty-five. She's devastated...but she's also free. After a lifetime of being a disappointment to everyone, is it finally time Lucy grew up?
