"In the 1980s, in the Melbourne suburb of Fawkner, Josie's father is drinking himself to an ugly and appalling death.
Josie's mother is trying to keep the family afloat.
And Josie is surviving - or not - though a reckless mix of sex, alcohol, drugs and brutalised friendships.
Her story is both familiar and unique, a confronting and intimate glimpse of the inner life of an intelligent young woman longing to be loved." -- Back cover
