The Bestseller no. 1 in Germany: Poppy is a six-year-old girl who lives with her mother in a run-down suburban neighborhood. One day, they move into a luxurious mansion with her mother's new partner. Poppy's mother is happy. She can finally buy anything she wants. This new 'Daddy' or "Mr. Rich", as the young girl calls him, makes Poppy's every wish come true. He showers her with gifts, washes her hair three times a week and takes her on long journeys in his big car, just the two of them. He calls her his little wife.In fact, everything would be just great, if it wasn't for one thing … Critical Reviews: *Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung" (German newspaper): "One of the most powerful and daring novels of the year, based on a true story. This tale of mind games, abuse, and resilience is heart-warming as well as unbearable, powerful, and extremely alarming, and all at the same time is inspired by its lovable heroine." *Stadtspiegel (German Newspaper): "In Poppy, Astrid Korten gives abuse a voice and successfully uses her light yet cutting tone to allow readers to imagine the unimaginable. She illuminates a dark topic and knows how to use humour to tell a harrowing story." *Hochberger/Deinzer (Editors): "The story of Poppy touched me deeply and made me incredibly angry. On the other hand, the book captivates with an often brilliant situational comedy that is never at odds with the harrowing events Poppy had to endure. Astrid Korten has expressed humor, irony, and the girl's suffering in a heartwarming and at the same time unbearable way. It is difficult for me to describe the many feelings that the story of the girl has aroused in me. My respect to Astrid Korten and to Poppy, who is now grown up, for her courage in telling the true story of little Poppy. I laughed and cried while reading."
