Precious Thing
is a story about the destructive force of friendship but it has been the encouragement of many great friends that has kept me going. You know who you are, thank you. A special mention goes to Helene Graham, my oldest friend, for providing the inspiration for the classroom scene, thankfully we are nothing like Rachel and Clara.

Finally, my love and thanks to Finlay, Milo and Sylvie for the smiles, cuddles and putting it all into perspective.

And to Paul, for everything. Thanks doesn’t seem enough.
