THE LOST CHILD by #BPAFirstNovelAward winner Julia

THE LOST CHILD by #BPAFirstNovelAward winner Julia Kelly: When a young boy washes up onto the beach with no memory, Dorothy is shocked by the resemblance he has to her son who drowned twenty years before, at the same age. She agrees to look after him...

We are delighted that Julia is now represented by this year's agent judge, Hellie Ogden from @janklownesbituk, and we can't wait to see where this story goes.
