Her work has been translated into over a dozen languages. After graduating from Oxford University, she worked as a teacher of English and Housemistress in three major British boarding schools.

       For my darling Hugh and my dearest little Tennessee Skye: thank you for teaching me, each day, what it means to be truly beautiful – and truly lucky.

       Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul

       And sings the tune without words And never stops at all.

      Emily Dickinson
