Description
'An inspiring, uplifting novel about an extraordinary young woman who refuses to let anything stand in the way of her love and her dream'JULIE COHEN
'A wonderful book about the beautiful Alice Martineau that both inspired meand made me cry uncontrollably when I finished it' SUNDAY TIMES
Tom fell in love with Alice the moment he saw her. He realises that being with her will not be easy, but she is a force of nature, a burst of sunlight in his otherwise ordinary world.
Some people might look at Alice and think she has everything, but Alice knows she is not like other women. Her life is complicated, unpredictable, difficult. Alice does not like pity. All she wants to do - all she's ever wanted to do - is sing.
Alice has been told not to follow her dreams. So has Tom. But when fate has already dealt a tough hand, it's time to stop listening to everyone else and follow their hearts . . .
'A heart-wrenching read ... A moving story of an extraordinary young woman and the triumph of her spirit against huge odds' SUNDAY EXPRESS
'It's impossible to get to the end of this powerful and poignant story without a lump in the throat' SUNDAY MIRROR
'An extraordinary story that goes straight to the heart. Alice Peterson celebrates her namesake with great understanding and skill, acknowledging the frailties and strengths, the ambitions and the talent of an amazing young woman' JANET ELLIS, author of THE BUTCHER'S HOOK
'What a beautiful, passionate story. I couldn't physically put the book down... I had to keep on reading' ALICE BEER
'Touching and vivid... A book that will live on in the hearts of many' CASILDA GRIGG
'Brought Alice's soul to life. This book had me in tears, my favourite book of the year' LIZZY WARD THOMAS
'An emotional, uplifting page-turner, inspired by the true story of the singer, Alice Martineau, that celebrates making every moment in life count, and never giving up' JO CHARRINGTON, CAPITOL RECORDS

About the Author
Alice Peterson writes contemporary fiction with humour and compassion. Her novels always have the feel good factor, but she also aims to take the reader to a darker place where characters have to overcome adversity. This is partly due to Alice's own life experience of living with Rheumatoid Arthritis, which she wrote about in her memoir Another Alice. She has written four novels: Monday to Friday Man, which has sold over 500,000 copies across all editions, Ten Years On, By My Side and One Step Closer to You, which won the Festival of Romance's Best Romantic Read 2014.
