*Dear You,

You are here. I don't know how I know that this is the beginning of you. I just do. I should be afraid. But what I feel is, we can do this. You and I.*

When she was pregnant, Emmy had such high hopes for the future. But what happens when you can't love the baby you thought you'd adore? Sometimes it seems that the best thing is to run away. Little Wing tells what happens to Emmy when she leaves her baby with the father, Matt, and tries to find her way back to being herself.

Praise for Little Wing:

This is a novel that clearly speaks to the heart, with a slow-burning hope at its core. Joanne Horniman is one of the best novelists writing books with big ideas and intimate characters for young people today. An exceptional experience.' - Magpies

'There is a fragility to these characters, so delicately crafted, but so strong in spirit.' - Melina Marchetta

'One of Australia's finest writers, Joanne Horniman has an exquisite honesty in her words, which observe the smallest details. Every sentence is beautiful and necessary.' - Weekend Australian

'A sensitive and direct discussion of postnatal depression a touching and emotional journey.' - Courier Mail

Praise for Little Wing's companion book, Mahalia:

Superb writing an emotional and satisfying read. Highly recommended.' - Sydney's Child

'[An] emotionally rich novel. A starkly candid and sensitive portrait of teenage parenthood.' - Horn Book Magazine, USA
