Pride of Britain

Kirsteen Lupton seems like any other teenage girl. But Kirsteen was born with a rare medical condition: her bladder was on the outside of her body. By the age of seven she had endured numerous agonising, failed operations. After medical complications left her weighing just 11/2 stone and battling for her life, surgery by the team at Great Ormond Street Hospital finally gave her a chance at a normal life. What makes Kirsteen so exceptional is that she has since helped to raise over GBP750,000 for the hospital. In 2006 she was named 'Fundraiser of the Year' at the Pride of Britain awards.This is the story of Kirsteen's extraordinary life and her work to raise funds for the hospital that helped her so much. But it is also the story of her family, who have always supported her - her mum, who battled with feelings of guilt over Kirsteen's condition, her dad, who sacrificed career advancement and earning capacity to look after his family, and her brothers, who have watched as their parents struggled to support their sister.

I know I'm lucky to be alive. I know I'm lucky to have such a wonderful family. I don't like to dwell on negative things. I'd rather enjoy my life as much as possible. I've got my school, my friends and home, and I'd like to leave it at that...Maybe I'm being naïve. Maybe I'm just bottling everything up and one day it's going to explode out of me. But at the moment I'm okay with it.

Résumé
Stephanie &quote;Stiffy&quote; Truscott has a talent for trouble and no fewer than six aunts, every one of whom considers the best place for her is over their knees. They object to her driving, her dancing, but most of all to her choice of fiance, and as she attempts to evade their preferred form of justice she only manages to dig herself in deeper. After stealing her prospective father-in-law's prize pig and being tricked into joining the local fascists, she knows that the least she can expect is to have her bare bottom caned in front of a large audience, but still she tries to wriggle free. A very English, very funny, and very erotic romp.Part of the Truscott Saga series - historical erotica following the depraved adventures of the Truscott family from the eighteenth century onwards. Other titles in this series include Demonic Congress, The Rake, Purity, Velvet Skin, Conceit and Consequence, The Old Perversity Shop, and Beastly Behaviour.
