My good friend, Nicole Hayes, is talking about her new book, The Whole of my World, on her blog Melbourne Musing as part of The Next Big Thing meme (and she kindly mentions me).
Nicole's novel is the story of a troubled teen, Shelley Brown, who's unable to connect with her grieving dad following her mother's death. Alone and desperate to belong, she escapes into the blokey world of Australian football where she befriends the star full forward who has his own issues, not the least of which is a quickly fading career.
Have a read about how Nic came to write The Whole of my World, the background to the story and what she calls the 'misspent' youth that inspired the book.
