Pieces of Blue (#1)
Author(s): Kerry McGinnis
At the age of six, Kerry McGinnis loses her mother. Her father, left with four young children to raise, gathers up his family and leaves the city to go doving. For the next fifteen years, the McGinnis clan travels the continent, droving, horse breaking and living off the land. Kerry grows up in the harsh outback, and the animals that inhabit the land are her closest friends.
With the memory of her absent mother ever present, Kerry begins her difficult journey into young womanhood.
