      About This Book

      Warm but tough-minded, this surprising story glitters with a rare and subtle wit, illuminating the shadows that extend from childhood and finding beauty in unexpected places
       
      Twelve-year-old Cecilia Maria was named after the saints and martyrs to give her something to live up to. "Over my dead body," she vows. In the blinding heat of 1970s Queensland, she battles six brothers on her side of the fence, and the despised Kapernicky girls lurking on the other side of the barbed wire. Secrets are buried deep, only to resurface decades later when Cecilia drags her own reluctant teenagers back home to dance on a grave and track down some ghosts.
