When her mother dies, Dylan struggles to find her identity. An outback
road-trip with her mum's grieving boyfriend sees an unlikely bond
develop. But it won't last...
Dylan dreams of sailing across the ocean to France with her mother.
Paris, Dylan imagines, is a place where her black skin won't make her
stand out, a place where she might feel she belongs.
When she loses her mother in a freak accident, Dylan finds herself on a
very different journey: a road trip across the Australian outback in the
care of her mother's grieving boyfriend, Pat. As they pass through
remote towns further and further from the water Dylan longs for, she and
Pat form an unlikely bond: a bond that will be broken when Pat leaves
Dylan with a family she has never known.
Metal Fish, Falling Snow is about a young girl's search for an
identity as she navigates unthinkable grief. A warm, funny, and original
look at families lost and found, this Own Voices novel celebrates the
resilience of the human heart and the meaning of home.
