Four short stories featuring off-beat heroines making their way in the world and finding ways to become their true selves.
In Pebble Pet, an autistic teacher recalls her childhood, and the misunderstandings which led to her being underestimated; Nina finds herself rendered invisible by middle age in The Invisible Woman. The Waiting Game is narrated by the hopelessly over-optimistic Keith, and the titular heroine of Boots Goes Walking realises there's more to friendship than always being the audience.
