Leila

A struggling author. A troubled teenager. A damaged stranger.

Leila struggles at school. She is different, after all. But nobody understands her. Nobody cares. Except perhaps one person, deep in the forest.

Leila becomes more and more dependent on him, but confusion and anger take over.

Where is he? Will she find him? Can she go on without him?

And most importantly, can she make a success of her life?

A coming of age story with a twist, Leila gently explores the nature of neurodiversity and autism, and the successes and failures that may result.

And if you’ve ever considered writing a novel, you’ll know all about how hard it can be.
