Lucky Lady and Other Stories (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781847486288)

These uplifting stories, set in the heart of England, focus on family life and the miracle of birth. In the title story, 'Lucky Lady', a trip with the children to see their granny is broken by dramatic events on a farm. The result is a beautiful brown foal - much to everyone's delight! 'Night Call', the first long story and 'A Long Wait' are linked by the appearance of a hospital visitor called Harry, a man with a dark past. His kindness helps a couple in middle age find fulfilment and happiness. 'Bill's Girl' portrays the agony of a mother at losing her daughter in a road accident, her descent into mental illness and her recovery to a fresh start through new motherhood. 'Day Trip', 'The Children's Stories' and 'Happy Days' round off a thoughtful, carefully paced collection that touches on issues such as jealousy, body anxiety, Christian charity and the treatment of our elderly people. B C Collins has added five poems to her stories as an extra and thoroughly enjoyable bonus. Don't miss them! Since her first novella, BC Collins has become widowed. To keep herself occupied and to do some good, she has begun knitting for a local charity. Lucky Lady is her fifth collection of stories.
