Items related to The Mist on Bronte Moor
When fifteen-year-old Heather Jane Bell is diagnosed with alopecia and her hair starts falling out in clumps, she wants nothing more than to escape her home in London and disappear off the face of the earth.
Heather gets her wish when her concerned parents send her to stay with a great-aunt in West Yorkshire. But shortly after she arrives, Heather becomes lost on the moors and is swept through the mist back to the year 1833. There she encounters fifteen-year-old Emily Bronte and is given refuge in the Bronte Parsonage.
Unaware of her host family's genius and future fame, Heather struggles to cope with alopecia amongst strangers in a world foreign to her. While Heather finds comfort and strength in her growing friendship with Emily and in the embrace of the close-knit Bronte family, her emotions are stretched to the limit when she falls for Emily's brilliant but troubled brother, Branwell.
Will Heather find her way back to the comforts and conveniences of the twenty-first century? Or will destiny keep her in the harsh world of nineteenth-century Haworth?

About the Author:
I was was born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa, where Table Mountain dominates the entire city. Other places I have lived include San Diego, California and Honolulu, Hawaii (lucky me!). I currently live in Southern California with my husband, two daughters, and two yorkie terriers (Lucy and Branwell).
Review:
My children are fascinated by the fact that I grew up with limited TV, no computers/Internet, iPods, iPads, cellphones, Wii's, Xboxes, etc. "So what did you do?" they ask. Well, I went to the beach a lot, hung out with friends, and I read. I read everything from comic books to novels. I especially loved Archie Comics, The Adventures of Tin Tin, and Asterix and Obelix. My favorite author growing up was British writer, Enid Blyton (Noddy, Secret Seven, Famous Five). Today, I have many favorite books, but Wuthering Heights still tops my list. In addition, I have a serious obsession with Harry Potter.
