Holly Hillman was abandoned at the age of two and a half. She was then raised in an austere fashion. She was kept well away from anything whimsical or fanciful.
Not for Holly were things that other children of her age took for granted. Elves, fairies and Father Christmas meant nothing to her. Because she was taught that such things had no existence.
Harmless fancies that helped children cope with the harsh realities of life were kept from her.
By the time Holly was in her forties, she was the Chief Executive Officer of a Fortune 400 company. She had reached the top of the company by dint of her own hard work. And also by keeping distractions and social attachments out of her life.
But, despite living a life that others would find unattractive and limiting, Holly was perfectly happy in the life that she had selected for herself. In fact, as far as Holly was concerned, her life was perfect and she wouldn't have it any other way.
However, her company was due to merge with a powerful Asian conglomerate and, as part of the due diligence process that always surrounds such mergers, she was required to have a health check, which also required a DNA sample to be taken. But what exactly was the Ling Chow Group up to?
However, never in her wildest dreams could Holly have been ready for the results of her DNA test. For the DNA test revealed the shocking truth of her amazing and unique ancestry.
Holly must face a stunning truth about herself that must change not only how she views herself but also life in general and alter her concept of what reality is.
She finds herself in a world of talking reindeers, elves in business suits and of mysterious NDAs and the chance to meet her real father.
It's a fantastic and fantastical story that is very well told and which contains a great many allegorical truths about life, childhood, business practices, politics and much more besides.
It's published by Troubador on January 28th at £9.99.
