Mirky Windows — Susan Delaney

Jane's home life is far from charmed. First there's her mother, who's always drinking and doesn't ever seem to want her around. Then there's her mum's boyfriend, Danny, the latest in a long line of mean, drunk men, always bothering Jane. But Danny is planning something big; and it could give Jane the perfect means of escape from her humdrum existence. For now, Jane escapes into her imaginary world with her rescue dog, Molly. She dreams of the glamorous Isabella, who lives a life of luxury, with beautiful clothes, sunny picnics and happy days stretching in front of her. But when she stumbles across a mysterious birth certificate and papers in her mother's closet, Jane is forced to question everything she knows - Who is Isabella, and what has her mother been keeping from her? Things are about to change, and life for Jane will never be the same again.
