More DescriptionJosephine Alibrandi is 17 and in her final year of school. Dealing with her mum, the ways of her Nonna and preparing for exams is daunting enough, then real life starts to get in the way of her carefully-made plans. She has to deal with her father being in her life for the first time, falling in love and uncovering her family's secret background. And yet despite all the turmoil, this is the year Josie discovers that emancipation doesn't necessarily mean escaping from your past, and that sometimes, you need to face up to who you are in order to set yourself free.

McGrath Breast Care Nurses offer a unique service to families who can self-refer to this free support.By purchasing this special edition you are helping the McGrath Foundation realise their goal.
