This book is a collection of stories.. The novella 'Love, Lycra and Tattoos' is the touching story of a daughter and mother who face daily challenges and life-changing events. Fiona's mother, a single parent, is trying to keep the reality of her recent diagnosis from her daughter, but navigating their new terrain without transparency only leads to more difficulties. The fictional stories in this collection provide unique insights into domestic dramas and deliver universal truths about seemingly small lives. Read about a grown man who has never left home in 'Adult Education', stories about the wrong people married to each other in 'Sitting in a Parked Car' and 'Going Through the Motions.' For a futuristic flavour, enjoy 'Eco Betrayals' and a familial of hope is depicted in 'True North, Fining a Way Home.' "(this novella) has its own voice, pacing and emotional intelligence; the work is fresh, awake and wryly kind." - AAWP (Australian Association of Writing Programs) & Spineless Wonder Novella Prize 2024.
