Riding the Waves
'You mustn't never give up. You have to sort yourself out, get yourself together and start all over again.' She might be referring to surfing but Florrie's words are also applicable to herself, on the doorstep of frail old age and riven by long-term guilt, and to Matt, suddenly sensitive to his situation as an adopted child. There's good humour and sound wisdom in this worthy story which was a Carnegie recommendation.
