Description
Kate Rickman seems just like any other 19-year-old girl. She goes to university, she dates nice, normal boys and she works in her local tourist office at the weekend. But Kate's not really normal at all. 'Kate' is in fact a carefully constructed facade for a girl called Jennifer Jones ‒ and it's a facade that's crumbling fast.Jennifer has spent the last nine years frantically trying to escape from her horrifying past. Increasingly desperate, Jennifer decides to do something drastic. She contacts the only other girl who might understand what she's dealing with, breaking every rule of her parole along the way. Lucy Bussell is the last person Jennifer expects any sympathy from, but she's also the last person she has left.

Critic Reviews
'Anne Cassidy has created a perfectly balanced multi-sided and layered story that made me feel compassion for the character of Jennifer regardless of her actions.' -- Kids' Book Review
'I am very, very pleased to report that it is just as superb as "Looking for JJ". Like all really brilliant fiction, it forces us to face our own prejudice and preconception and makes us a more compassionate society.' -- Jo Cotterill, author of A Storm of Strawberries
