AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Sad that her friendship with Leigh is over and her much loved brother John has moved away, Merri is at least happy that she still has her boyfriend Nick and has been accepted at university to study costume design. Her first year at university will be exciting, following her passions. Leigh too is preparing for her first year at university, but misses the friendship she had with Merri. Off in Daylesford, John is slowly piecing his life back together, working out what he will do there and what it is that he really wants from life.

'When Merri realises she is pregnant, she doesn’t know how she will cope, but she does know she wants to keep the baby. Nick tries to be supportive, but he has to face the painful scars his own father’s cruelty left on him.' (Publication summary)
