Jetty Road is an amusing and insightful novel about women of a certain age, kids and oldies - about life actually, and how we never really grow into it. The story explores the intertwined lives of two sisters, Evie and Paula Haggerty. Damaged by their early life experiences - Evie's past drug habit and the collapse of Paula's long-term relationship - the sisters depend on one another to stand strong against the challenges of mid life, and together face difficult decisions that must be made.

'A robust, homely, family novel full of crossed purposes, mixed messages, petty jealousies and generous intentions. Like life, it occasionally drops us into real, swinging, breath-holding suspense when characters we care about are suddenly under threat.' Katharine England, Advertiser
