Jan was thinking about Peter Carey as she walked home from school. He'd asked her to go out with him on Friday night, but she wasn't sure she wanted to. She'd have a good chat with Mum about it when she got back from work, see what she had to say.

But mum doesn't come home that night, nor the next, nor the next...

Realistic, moving, often wryly humorous, this novel follows Jan through a time of turbulent and complex emotions after her mother's disappearance.
