Sixteen-year-old Grace lives under a bridge in Melbourne’s CBD. It’s
cold and wet, but hidden. Safe, at least, until she can go home
When winter drives her to the City Library one morning, Grace
meets Louie, a weird kid with his own problems, and discovers
a community piano. The piano reminds Grace of her mum, a
celebrated pianist whose mental illness makes life a rollercoaster –
and not always a fun one.
When Grace comes up with a plan to find the help she and Mum
need, life begins to look up. But things don’t work out as Grace
imagines and suddenly her world’s turned upside down again, and
maybe for good this time.
A Way Home is a big-hearted novel that explores the complexities of
growing up with a parent who is struggling, and about the places
and people we call home.
‘A page-turning, gritty story full of hope and compassion. The writing is
assured and gripping, and Grace is a memorable and compelling character,
beautifully realised. A Way Home is a riveting story of resilience and hope
against the odds, both insightful and heartbreakingly real’
Mark Smith, award-winning author of the Winter Trilogy
