Seven year old Margaret hides high in a Norfold Pine beside the
beach. It's precarious and scary but it gives her the courage to
face her rather's death. Years later, she and her brother invoke
that strength as they search for a mother who left them long before
she disappeared.
Told with compassion and humour, this story is a refined
perspective of childhood suffering and endurance, wrapped in strong
themes of alcoholism, poverty, neglect and abuse. It gives a
searing account of the systems and authorities of the 1960s.
This book is an act of resilience in and of itself.
