Description
Stella tries very hard to be good. She tries not to be sassy, to answer back, to be noticed. Because when Stella's father is angry, it's like lightning and thunder and hailstones. All she can do is touch wood, or search for magpies. But as Stella begins to build a new life, her past still haunts her. It will take all her grace, courage and love to heal her wounds and break free.
