In a crisis, take a stand ... A coming of age story, set against the Dismissal of the government in 1975 as battle lines are drawn, democracy is on the edge, and all of it is far too close to home.
When another national crisis puts Juliet's family beach trip on hold, Juliet is disappointed, but not surprised. When your dad has a key job in the federal government, even faraway crises hit close to home, and change is the only constant. It's 1975 and Juliet has a lot to look forward to. It's the last year of primary school, wrongs are being set right, and there's new attitudes, new opportunities ... as well as new friends. But as Juliet gets to know more about the people around her and the times that shape her, there are plenty of surprises still in store.
But politics is casting a long shadow over the country, and it seems nothing can save Juliet, her family, and her friendships, from the biggest crisis of all.
