The Whole of My World

Product Description

Beneath a football-obsessed surface is a riveting story about love, and loss, and grief, and the secrets we try to keep, and the reasons they won't stay hidden. Desperate to escape the darkness of her grieving father and harbouring her own terrible secret, fourteen-year-old Shelley escapes into the intoxicating world of Australian football, where she befriends the star Full Forward and a motley crew of footy fanatics. She soon becomes a favourite and a regular, finding her feet and somewhere to belong. But nothing is ever that simple, least of all football. Unable to ignore the blatant sexism of this blokey world, Shelly is forced to choose between acceptance or friendship in order to reconnect with the things that really matter u because only then will she be free to forgive herself.
