Description

Freia Lockhart has all the ingredients for an awesome summer: great new friends, an extremely kissable boyfriend, plans for New Year's Eve (which don't include her parents) and no school. But when her mum reveals some devastating news Freia's plans are crushed in an instant.

'A story about Freia whose summer holidays change with the news of her mother’s cancer. Good depiction of family working together through the crisis, healthy role modeling, good boundary setting, open and honest communication, intergenerational support all encompassing the ability to be courageous and determined.'-- Judges of Australian Family Therapists' Award
