Aussie teen Biz sees and speaks to her dead father and often feels detached from her own body. On a soul-searching journey to her father's outback childhood home, she suffers a terrifying break with reality; family, friends, and mental-health workers help Biz explore her father's death, understand her anxiety and depression, and realize her sexual identity. Fox's debut is a sensitively wrought character study expressed in distinctive, intimate prose.
