My Review
5☆ A Compelling and Beautiful Read!
First of all I want to say how gorgeous the cover is. I'm an animal lover and it drew me straight in.
The Calico Cat is a beautiful coming of age story, a story of new beginnings and self discovery and learning to accept.
When Lottie was 13 she discovers a devastating secret that will change her life and the way she fits in growing up.
My heart went out to Lottie after discovering the secret her whole world was flipped upside down it's no wonder her personality changes. What with dealing with teenage hormones too.
What makes matters much worse is how her Mum deals with the fall out. Instead of talking to Lottie and helping her come to terms with her emotions she makes matters much worse. She behaves disgracefully.
It's no wonder Lottie rebels. Causing a rift between them. Mum's are meant to be your rock it's so sad.
Fast forward and Lottie is now a teacher. Unsure whether it's really what she wants to do, she walks out on her teaching job and decides to follow her true passion to become an artist like her grandmother.
What follows next is a heart warming journey of self discovery and new beginnings as Lottie discovers who she really is, putting her past to rest.
The Calico Cat is a compelling and heart warming read it's an engrossing, irresistible story that will leave am impression.
There are some sensitive subjects and Amanda has written them realistically and with sensitivity.
The Characters are somewhat flawed, unique but believable.
I highly recommend this Poignant read, it truly is a beautiful book written by a very talented Author.

Author Bio
Amanda has written since she was a child, but never imagined that her words would be published, given that she left school with no real qualifications of note apart from an A* in how to be a nuisance in class. Nevertheless, she returned to education when her daughter was five and eventually became a history teacher. Then in 2010, after many twists and turns, the dream of becoming a writer came true when her first short story was published. Amanda has written many short stories and has six novels currently published.
Amanda grew up in Sheffield but now has realised her lifelong dream of living in Cornwall and her writing is inspired every day by the dramatic coastline near her home. She has sketched out many stories in her head while walking the cliff paths. Three of her mystery/suspense novels are set there, Somewhere Beyond the Sea, Summer in Tintagel and the Behind the Lie. Rip Current is also set in Cornwall and will be published by Bloodhound Books in April 2018.
Amanda, known to many as Mandy, spends far more time than is good for her on social media and has turned procrastination to a fine art. She can also usually be found playing on the beach with her family, or walking the cliff paths planning her next book.
