One Step Closer to You (by Alice Peterson)

I have loved every book I’ve read by Alice Peterson, since I first discovered her writing nearly fourteen years ago. Her novels cover some important contemporary issues, many of them related to some kind of disability. She does this very sympathetically, and with some great characterisation and storylines. It’s not quite six years since I first read ‘One step closer to you’, but I had almost entirely forgotten the plot, and had no recollection of the characters.
