But there’s more to Lars than his charming persona, and Nancy is about to discover the danger of being drawn into his world…2006: Tina has had her taste of fame as the nation’s sweetheart pop princess.

But beneath her glittery façade, Tina is desperate to discover who she really is. Her mother, Nancy, seems desperate to keep the past under wraps, but will an unexpected figure help open the door?Spanning four decades and three continents, Bitter Honey is a story of mothers, daughters, and the importance of carving your own path.
