Glimpsing a different way of life is enticing but its demands are terrifying. A chance encounter draws her into the endangered community garden where she makes friends for the first time. But as she uncovers some shady goings-on in the council, that stability turns to quicksand.įor teenage mother Jade Innes, life can be lonely among the judgement of the town and the frequent absences of her boyfriend. Having clawed back some stability through her involvement in the community garden, she dares to relax. Life has taught Helen Demetriou two things: being homeless is terrifying and survival means keeping your cards close to your chest. Then, when new neighbours arrive and they are exactly the sort of people the town doesn't want or need, things get worse.
With two young children, a business in a town struggling under an unexpected crime wave, and her husband more interested in his cricket team than their marriage, life is a juggling act. A picturesque small town, a cosy community garden, a facade of tolerance and acceptance - but when three women with wildly different loyalties come together, what secrets and lies will be revealed? A timely novel exploring prejudice and privilege, from bestselling Australian author Fiona Lowe.
