“This is a special book. The shadows the past casts on one family – and on our society – are brilliantly explored in the voice of a young girl. Sue Lawson manages to weave the profound with the everyday language of a teenager.”
“Written in teenage vernacular, humorous and topical … Recommended.”
“From the first page to the last I was extremely moved, and in the end the tears on my face were for not only Darcy and her family, but for my own.”
