About the Book

A Hollywood idol. The Virgin Mary. An everyday girl from Hull. Three women, three eras, surprising things in common...

Book Synopsis

A Hollywood idol.

The Virgin Mary.

An everyday girl from Hull.

Three women, three eras, surprising things in common...

On 4^th August 1962, the night she should have died, Marilyn Monroe - the biggest star in the world - receives a visitor who changes the course of her destiny. The Virgin Mary appears in her kitchen with a curious message. Inspired, Marilyn abandons her home, her life, her fame, and disappears into the night...

Fifty-four years later, in a Hull kitchen, Flora Baker finds Mary, bathed in light. She has a similar message for the working class woman who is on the poverty line and dreaming of a better life. Flora begins to make changes that impact not only her life but the lives of those around her...

Do Marilyn and Flora have more in common than just Mary's visit? Are they somehow linked across time? And is Mary's message for all the women of the world?

Wonderful is about the way women are portrayed in both history and the world of celebrity, about women not being quiet, and about women united by the shared stories that shape them.
