Summary: "Phoebe's non-Indigenous mother, a busy event manager, and her father, an Aboriginal man and uni lecturer, have split up and she's moved to sleepy old Willunga with him and his new health-obsessed girlfriend. It's only a few kilometres from Phoebe's friends and the city, but it feels like another world. Her new school is full of hippies, but some of the kids are cool and the local basketball team is tight, and before long Phoebe's fitting in. But as her mum becomes increasingly unreliable, Phoebe's grades suffer, her place on the basketball team is under threat and her worries spiral out of control. Phoebe can't tell her friends and if she tells her dad he'll get angry, but pretending everything is fine is breaking her heart. How can she help her mum without tearing her family apart?" -- Publisher.
