Tully

Written by Paullina Simons

Flamingo Press 1994

This fantastic novel delivers a powerful impact, as it is filled with raw emotion from every angle.

It is the story of Natalie (Tully) Makker, a young woman from the wrong side of the tracks, whose tragic upbringing deeply affects her relationships from childhood through to adulthood. After surviving abuse and tragedy, Tully must learn that although the grieving process is one filled with immense pain and anguish, there is still hope and happiness to be found in life and love.

Paulina Simons is truly an exceptional author, who inspires faith throughout life’s toughest challenges, teaching us that ultimately we are responsible for our choices and the consequences that follow, and that a little humour, love, compassion and friendship, can carry us a long way.

This fabulous story will stay with me forever, and the character Tully moved me so passionately, that I named my first dog after her!
