Kick the Dust 

''If I close my eyes, holding on to a memory is easier. I think it might be in front of me when I open them."

Silkworm Secrets

 
 

Yes, it's real, this novel explores deeper and darker issues - but life can be that, complicated, challenging, and unfair. It's a rollercoaster ride of emotions, but well worth it. This Australian novel par excellence is a must-read.
