Notes

Summary: Justin Sparks is back in Mildura, hoping to bury the past. On his first day, he meets unrepentant party girl Tara Ramsey, and he's drawn into her latch-key world. But he also meets Margo Bonney - a bright, no-nonsense Aboriginal girl who Tara hates. Soon Justin is wrestling with feelings for both girls. Does he submit to what's achingly familiar or pursue the future he craves? Local footy hero and high school dropout Corey Williams lives in the moment - until he and his best mate, Hamish, get smashed and vandalise the cemetery. Now, there are human remains under Hamish's bed. Corey is determined to take back the bones, but who has he dug up? A wild eighteenth birthday party sees the lives of Tara, Margo, Justin and Corey spectacularly collide. In the aftermath, heart-breaking secrets are revealed that will change their lives forever. A story about love and loss. About tragic secrets and the lengths people will go to hide them. About intergenerational pain and desperate attempts to break the cycle. And about yearning for love and finding it where you least expect. (Publisher)
