A collection of short stories and poems about the private world of girls and women: about change, loss, survival, dreams, friendship, jealousy and tolerance; about the adult lives that teenagers fear or long for; about the teenage years that women remember with regret or relief. This honest, intimate collection will resonate with teenage girls (and their mums), and is playfully illustrated in the style of a scrapbook, with girly photos and black and white drawings.
