In the tradition of Ruth Park, a moving and heart-warming story about families, love, luck, and the choices that set us free.
Friday the thirteenth of February 1948 is Hannah Gordon's thirty-sixth birthday. Her daughter Allie turns sixteen on the very same day. What's more, it's a full moon. Hannah doesn't need Grandma Ade's warning that bad luck is coming to realise the odds are against them. In the year that follows, the family foundations are rocked to the core, but ultimately their lives are opened up to all new possibilities.
