Things have changed in Aster's life, and she's really not okay. Her dad is the one person who has always been there for her, but now Aster feels like she's being pushed out--like the space that used to be hers is getting smaller and smaller. The good, right things - she did them because she was scared of not being seen, of being left, but they don't work anymore. Instead of waiting for someone else to do the leaving--like her mum did--Aster decides she'll be the one to make that change. Overwhelmed, she makes a decision that could have awful ramifications for two families, not just hers. Facing up to what she's done is hard--but doing the right thing is very different to doing the easy thing. Change can be scary and family life can be tough. But as Aster discovers, the very thing you fear may actually be the gift that brings love and light into your world ...

Kate Gordon

Kate Gordon grew up in a very booky house, with two librarian parents, in a small town by the sea in Tasmania. After studying performing arts and realising she was a terrible actor, Kate decided to give in to genetics and study to be a librarian herself.

She never stopped writing and, in 2009, with the encouragement of a very nice man called Leigh (who is also her husband), she applied for and won a Varuna fellowship, which led to all sorts of lovely writer things happening. Kate's first book, Three Things About Daisy Blue-a young Adult novel about travel, love, self-acceptance and letting go-was published in the Girlfriend series by Allen and Unwin in 2010.

She's also written Thyla (Random House Australia), Vulpi, the sequel to Thyla (Random House Australia), Writing Clementine (Allen and Unwin) and Twenty- five Memories of Viggo MacDuff (Odyssey Books). In 2018, Kate was shortlisted in the Dorothy Hewett Awards for an Unpublished Manuscript.
