Every choice can change you for better. Or worse.

Janine Barrett is like every other fifteen-year-old-she knows it all. When her father passes away, and she's stuck with her vindictive mother, and a shameful secret; it's time to break out on her own.

But surviving life as an adult-juggling schoolwork, a household, and a boyfriend-is a lot harder than she thought. And that's only the beginning.

What will she sacrifice to have it all and prove her mother wrong?

Follow Janine's journey as she grows up from a naïve, rebellious teen in 1980s Melbourne.
