Marty and Daisy spend their lives pretending. Marty pretends his mum's grip on reality isn't slipping by the day. Daisy pretends her parents aren't burning out while they look after her incurably ill brother. They both pretend they're fine. But the thing about pretending is, at some point, it has to stop. And then what? Written by the stellar Eve Ainsworth, author of 7 DAYS, CRUSH and DAMAGE, TENDER is an important, insightful and real look into the lives of two young carers.
