'Em is nearly five when she first sees the sea, and can't wait to make sandcastles with her grandfather. Miss Farrell wanted Catholic holiday tenants in her Sandgate house, but has to make the best of Em, Mum, Nan and Poppy. The rosary beads she gives Em are put to unconventional use as the ailing Poppy tries to help Em understand his thoughts on life's big questions.' (One Book Many Brisbanes : Fifth Anthology of Brisbane Stories p. 48)
