'It will be about birth and death and love and sex, and I will tell it very quiet and slow, so if you want big bangs of action and excitement it's best you stop reading right now. I will make it something after my own heart, tender and dark, a little candlelight novel, started this late summer night as my lover and baby daughter sleep in the big bed in the corner, and my sister Kate leans thoughtful and sleepless against the railing of the dark verandah outside ... So writes Sophie O'Farrell, 22 year-old single mother, university student, reader, writer. She pushes her baby through the streets of Lismore, remembering, meeting people, observing the beauty and ugliness of everyday life, falling in love, and finally, telling all.'--Provided by publisher.
