From one of Australia's favourite authors comes the sequel to the bestselling THUNDERWITH.
Can Lara help Marna, the painfully shy new girl, emerge and spread her wings?
Lara wants to help the shy new girl Marna. But first she must deal with her own feelings. Does she love the faithful Stan, her first boyfriend? Or the beautiful, exciting Jake, on the road with his Crimson River rock band? How can she cope with the hated bully, Gowd Gadrey, who's back in town, awakening powerful memories? And her reserved and troubled stepmother, Gladwyn, who has her own tragic past to confront? A gang of out-of-town bikies with evil intentions, whom Gowd seems to know quite well, leads to a night of revelations for Lara.
It is not only Marna who is 'at the chrysalis stage' in this immensely moving story, a celebration of the human spirit, liberation and hope, from Libby Hathorn, the bestselling author of the Australian young adult classic THUNDERWITH.
