Meet Mavis Upton. As mummy to 7-year old Ella and surrogate to far too
many pets, and with a failed marriage under her belt, Mavis knows she
needs to make some life-changing decisions. It's time to strike out into
the world, to stand on her own two feet ...to pursue a lifelong ambition
to become a Police Officer. I mean, what could go wrong?
Supported by her quirky, malapropism-suffering mum, Mavis throws herself
headlong into a world of uncertainty, self-discovery, fearless
escapades, laughter and extra-large knickers. And using her newly
discovered investigative skills, she reluctantly embarks on a search to
find her errant dad who was last seen years before, making off with her
mum's much needed coupon for a fabulous foam cup bra all the way from
America.
Follow Mavis as she tackles everything life can throw at her, and revel
in Gina Kirkham's humorous, poignant and moving story of an everyday
girl who one day followed a dream.
