The intense and compelling story of a young Australian girl who, after being raped by her father and rejected by her mother, runs away with her younger brother to make a life for herself. After a series of harrowing events she finds a sanctuary of sorts in the House Tibet, and there is a resolution that reaffirms her own strength and resurrection from victimhood. A compassionate, humane novel of a difficult topic.
