30 Day Book Photo Challenge - April 11

This was designed by Books & Cupcakes.


11. POC Character
— POC: Person of Color

Wonder Women - Rosie Fiore
Character - Holly

Jo has always dreamed of starting her own business, but the arrival of her two gorgeous toddlers has put her ambition on the backburner. Then she hits on a brilliant idea - a kids' clothing shop with a twist - and is thrilled when it really takes off. When husband Lee offers to quit his job to look after the family while her business grows, it seems a godsend - but will their marriage stand the test of reversing their roles?
Jo soon recruits Holly and Mel to help her in the shop. Designer Holly's high-flying career has come crashing down and she's moved back home - but is she ready to manage a major family crisis? Meanwhile, Mel worries her teenage daughter Serena is going off the rails. Is finding out more worth risking her daughter's trust?
At the crossroads of their lives, friendship could be the only the thing keeping these wonder women strong.

I borrowed this book from the library so don't have my own copy. This photo is from the goodreads page.
I picked up this book initially because it was in the children's section of the library by mistake and it just stood out. I'm so glad it was there. It could be classed as chick lit but it's written so well and I enjoyed it so much that I don't want to put it in that category.
The POC character is Holly; the story follows her as she adjusts to life in England after leaving South Africa due to a bad past relationship. She is a strong woman who, along with helping the Jungletown business grow, also designs and makes her own quirky dresses and I completely loved her personality and fashion style.
