So who are the characters in the book

Of course there has to be a main character in any book and the clue is in the title 'How to Make Victoria Sponge'. So we start with mum who is called Vicky and is married to Bob. 

Vicky has a down to earth relationship with God and chats to him like a friend about anything and everything. But during her conversations she isn't expecting a journey quite like the one God proposes to her in the book. 

Then we have the rest of the family. Support characters in the form of Robert or Bob as he likes to be known, who tries his best to be a good husband and father. However there is a secret in his past that he would rather leave behind which is stirred up one morning when a familiar face stares at him on the news.

Henry the eldest son, is sports mad and protective of his younger brother Johnny.

The twins Gabby and Johnny. Gabby loves make-up, is bright and moody. Johnny is also bright but has autistic traits and is bullied at school.

And lastly Lily Pink the youngest, who is bubbly, bouncy and full of fun. 

All the characters make up an interesting mix and deliver a week's worth of insight into the world of Victoria Sponge.

There are also smaller parts played by Mr and Mrs Green, Victoria's parents, Mandy, a childhood best friend and her husband Robert Kind, the Preschool Ladies, and a distraught lady called Cathy. 

Of course there has to be a mention of God, my all time favourite and wonderful Creator who has quite a lot to say in the book.
