Nothing could have prepared the sensitive, English, private-school girl for her new life in Australia.
Culturally dumped in the deep end, she struggles valiantly to survive - first, the turbulent trials of high school, then the somewhat bizarre challenges of living away from home in order to qualify for her rightful place at university. Following a life-threatening accident, her struggles continue as she takes on her new role as single parent on a mission to show her daughter the world.
From ridiculous road trips to roughing it in the Australian bush, DIY house-building, flash floods, ferocious fires, running away from the USA, and elastic band-snapping budget trips around the world,
A Way to Go
is a heartwarming account of the powerful relationship between a mother and daughter and their adventures together.
