'Set in Perth, Western Australia, Deep Into Dark is based on true anecdotes weaved into the story of fictional character, Hayley Nicole Stevenson. Through Hayley’s eyes, you will discover the underworld of homeless people and meet drug users and dealers, a convicted murderer, a youth lawyer and police officers.

'Twelve years after writing her first book Streetkid in the City at the age of 17, Delphine Jamet brings maturity into this well-documented and insightful story on the homeless community.

'Why do people live on the streets? Deep Into Dark will change your perspective of life on the streets and the homeless outcasts living on the doorsteps of city dwellers.

'Part diary, part interviews, these stories give voice to an underclass in Australian society that is all too often ignored, categorised and patronised.

'Deep Into Dark will appeal to teenagers, teachers, parents and all those who work with street kids. Even teenagers who find reading difficult or uninteresting will be captivated by this story that demystifies the homeless lifestyle.'

'Raw, immediate, absorbing, this volume presents the true account of life on the streets of Perth, written by a teenage streetkid. Part diary and part interview, the text provides a voice to an underclass that has often been ignored, categorised and patronised.

'Amongst the despair and the violence there is an invitation to understanding.

'The author hopes that, by understanding what actually happens on the streets, what juveniles are like and how they can be helped, the Australian government might make an improvement with problems, solutions and relationships with juveniles.'
