Tully Makker is a tough young woman from the wrong side of the tracks and she is not always easy to like.

But if Tully gives friendship and loyalty, she gives them for good, and she forms an enduring bond with jennifer and Julie, schoolfriends from very different backgrounds.

As they grow into the world of the seventies and eighties, the lives of the three best friends are changed forever by two young men, Robin and Jack and a tragedy which engulfs them all.

Against the odds, Tully emerges into young womanhood, marriage and a career. At last Tully Makker has life under control.

And then lifes strikes back in the most unexpected way of all......

RELEASE NOTES:

Taking to the Gold Coast BC Meet up today, if no one claims I will release around the Kurrawa Surf Club area.

I didn't get around to reading as it it over 600 pages and I have not felt like reading something so big lately.

This is a THICK book I loaded in to my bookbag at the meet up today, can't promise I'll get to it any time soon, but it is a book I have wanted to read.

UPDATE: I ended up leaving this on a bench at Circular Quay in Sydney near the Art Museum. 5 minutes later I walked past the bench again and the book was gone. Fingers crossed we get a journaller!
