'Sorrento, Victoria - 1999

'Fred's family is a mess. Fred's mother died when she was six and she's been raised by her Pop and adoptive father, Luca, ever since. But now Pop is at the Rye Rehabilitation Centre recovering from a fall; Luca's girlfriend, Anika, has moved in; and Fred's just found out that Anika and Luca are having a baby of their own. More and more it feels like a land-grab for family and Fred is the one being left off the map.

'But even as the world feels like it's spinning out of control, a crisis from the other side of it comes crashing in. When 400 Kosovar-Albanian refugees arrive in the middle of the night to be housed at one of Australia's 'safe havens' on an isolated headland not far from Sorrento, their fate becomes intertwined with the lives of Fred and her family, as she navigates one extraordinary year that will change them all.'

— Appears in: Magpies : Talking About Books for Children , May/June vol. 35 no. 2 2020; (p. 16-19) 'Every journey has a beginning, some have a defined destination, perhaps guided by a map, others are expeditions of exploration in which the maps may change. Many journeys are meanderings that lead us to surprising places, free of maps and expectation. The journey of Danielle Binks - writer, literary agent, reviewer and book blogger is the latter, a story of serendipitous discovery and opportunities.' (Introduction)
