Eddie (Edith) McGrath is, in her opinion, a very ordinary person, but when the results of a national essay competition are announced it seems Eddie is a winner...even if she doesn't want to be! A spirited story about the times when what we don’t want, turns out to be more than we could hope for.
Brigid Feehan was born, raised and educated in Wellington. She studied law at Victoria University and travelled overseas for a few years before returning to Wellington. She now lives in Island Bay with her family and her, probably not very bright but, very handsome cat Magnus. Brigid has worked for the government in a number of roles, none of which have involved meeting the Prime Minister, unlike her heroine Eddie McGrath! Stella Star, Brigid’s first novel, won the Tom Fitzgibbon Award and was included in the Storylines List of Notable Books in 2006. A sequel, Maybe Stella, was published in 2007.
