Synopsis

Everyone deserves to feel safe. 
It’s 1984. Superpowers for girls and women exist only on TV. 
Aileen Murphy struggles to make sense of her life in a working-class Scottish steel town. She dreams of escaping the sectarian bullying she has kept secret; then, the gorgeous Steve Henderson enters her world. 
When her vulnerable younger sister becomes the next target of the bullies, Aileen knows she must make a stand. Will Steve’s proposition to secretly teach Aileen her own ‘superpower’ save her and her sister? And can Aileen find the courage to fight for her dreams – to feel safe – and to be accepted for who she is? 
Real Gone Kid is the feel-good, first novel in the adult, coming-of-age, Raven Craig series, set in 1980s industrial Scotland.
