When Daddy dies he leaves no clues and it is up to the girls to find out what really happened. But has time erased vital evidence? The reason Fionna is writing this book is that it is a fictionalised account of true events. For her the writing was cathartic and gave her a better understanding of the circumstances of the past. It also gave her a better insight into the psyche of her sisters. Fionna is a published author (short stories) and is well-qualified to write a comprehensive novel.
