And she's one in a million. What readers are saying about A WOMAN IN A MILLION: 'A touching story and so well told. Excellent book' 'The characters, the plot and the writing are something very special indeed' 'A wonderful short story about a remarkable woman. Ona has so much spirit, I immediately loved her'
