White Elephants

• About the book

An unusual and touching memoir chronicling a life discovering the joys of discarded treasures. The white elephant stall is a standby of all summer fetes and car boot sales. The bring and buy table of odd, old and discarded objects is the amusing mainstay of these events, disregarded by most as holding little of interest. For Katie Haegele it is here that treasure is found. A charming tale, not of chipped crockery and broken toys but of real friendship with her mother, a deeper connection to her dead father and eventually even romance.
