Imagine being the only two seventeen-year-olds in a small town. That's life for Kirby Arrow -- named after the most dissenting judge in Australia's history -- and her best friend Clancy Lee, would-be musical star. Clancy wants nothing more than to leave town and head for the big ...smoke, but Kirby is worried- her family has a history of leaving. She hasn't heard from her father since he left when she was a baby. Shouldn't she stay to help her mother with the goat's-milk soap-making business, look after her grandfather who suffers from dementia, be an apprentice carpenter to old Mr Pool? And how could she leave her pet goat, Stanley, her dog Maude, and her cat Marianne? But two things happen that change everything for Kirby.

Clancy has his heart set on winning over Iris. Trouble is Kirby is also falling in love with Irisa Read more
