Extract from Chapter Two:

“Roars of laughter rippled through the seats as she clutched the rail. Mounting one step, then two – the driver pulled away before she could find the third. Her face however found the pile of bags that formed a mountain to his hip.

His big fat belly controlled the wheel as she silently implored him for help – trapped, helpless and overthinking the whole situation. He raised her with a single hand.

Turning to face the narrow aisle, throat dry, her eyes searched for sanctuary. Sixty eyes were all firmly fixed on her as she wobbled into a seat. Her confidence lay on the first step of the bus, to be pounded daily for the foreseeable future.”
