( Nov. 30, 2013)
Frankie lives in a spacious family home in a popular suburb with her mum, Ruth and dad, Ian. Everything would seem perfect to the passer by, but her mum and dad’s constant arguing causes Frankie to become unhappy and she starts to withdraw into her own imagination. After Ruth’s mother Dorothy is taken ill, she decides to move herself and her daughter to a small rented house in the middle of a council estate, nearby to the hospital. Frankie is horrified by the move and starts to spend much of her time helping an elderly friend of her grandmother's. When a shocking crime is committed, Frankie is sure she knows who the culprit is; all she has to do is prove it...
A story of parental separation, class and family relationships, told from each family member’s perspective. As Frankie faces some of the biggest challenges of her life, she learns in more ways than one, that things are not always as they first appear.
