about the author

Originally from the UK, Wendy Pattison emigrated to Australia in 1999 with her husband and young family. A dermatology nurse, she also proves to be an avid storyteller, and fuelled by a life-long dream of becoming an author, her debut novel is well worth the wait. In her spare time, Wendy enjoys listening to music, reading, and walking her two dogs, Indy and Luna, who rule the house. Wendy also takes joy in interior design and likes to attend fitness classes at the beach in Fremantle, overlooking the Indian Ocean.

about the book

The Australian outback can be a harsh and hostile place to live, and the boy’s home is no different. Sam must escape his abusive father for any hope of a future, but living on the street pushes him to the brink as he’s forced to make difficult choices to survive. This is a gritty tale of dangerous lies and secrets that stretch far and wide. Events can’t just be erased without people answering for what they’ve done.
