Substitute Child

Scott Wyatt had been a constant presence in her life, which was surprising given that he had died before she was born. Because of this, Charlotte Wyatt never quite felt that she was an only child. In fact, some days she felt like the substitute child – born of grief to replace the memory of a child who only lived a day.

Discovery of a letter in a bottle that has drifted from Byron Bay in Australia to the Cote D'Azur in France, launches a thrilling journey for Charlotte Wyatt into the world of high fashion, European royalty, paparazzi and the criminal underworld.

Substitute Child has six story lines including:

A journey across the world to collect a bottle with a message inside Living vicariously as a ‘substitute’ and getting swept up in someone else’s life Love interests from three potential suitors A search for identity and future career direction Analysis of what makes a story go viral and Exploration of Charlotte's relationship with her mother and best friend. There are also fabulous fashions, beautiful places and a few famous folk in walk-in and run-in roles.
