HETTY

Gentle, imaginative Hetty feels at home with her kindly parents but struggles to find her place in a new school. She takes refuge in her secret forest hideaway. When an accident forces her to rely on others, will Hetty find what it takes to grow up and fit in? And is a mysterious stranger watching over her?

HETTY is the first in a three-part "coming of age" series about a gentle-imaginative girl with loving adoptive parents and a natural father. They, and some very special friends, help daydreamer Hetty (ages 7-15) grow up. It is superbly crafted by three-time MCA winning author-illustrator Martha Sears West. 

West has kindly narrated a HETTY audiobook which will also be launched the Summer of 2014. (An ebook will be available as well.)
