Salt

Fans of Tim Winton, Amber Smith and Aryn Kyle will love this this heartbreaking and revealing coming-of-age story about a girl and her good friend who would do anything to help her through her traumatic experience.

Sanna and Jake weren't meant to be teen parents. Sanna was supposed to be spending her days carefree, surfing with her friends. Jake was going to earn straight As in his final year of school, get off his family's dairy farm and go study medicine at university.

But Sanna gets pregnant, and they co-parents twins as they navigate the challenges of growing up in a small town. But everything is not as it seems. Jake and Sanna are covering up what happened to her on a deserted dirt road. Their lie is about change their lives forever.

Heartbreaking and revealing, Salt is the story of friendship and altruism in the aftermath of trauma, and how important it is to face the truth to stop it corroding you from within.
