About this ebook
All her life, Dawn has been told she isn't beautiful. Armajeet refuses to compromise when her lover lacks bite. The generation gap provides a meditation on family life. And the witch who welcomes a door-to-door salesman grants an unexpected gift.
Appearances can be deceptive…and nothing is as it seems in these four short stories of womens' lives:- Beautiful; Dear Harry; The Four Seasons; and Mirror.
