A Future for Myself

The truth is, I don't know where my life is going. And in some ways I don't care.

Kirsty McLarty's life is in crisis. Her mother, Trish, is going into hospital and won't tell her what's going on. Paul's moving to Perth and wants more than friendship, Emma's games are growing more and more risky, and Simon hardly notices her.

In an attempt to make sense of the chaos, Kristy fills her life with dreams of the father she knows nothing about. Meanwhile, her relationship with her mother falls apart.

In A Future for Myself, Kirsty embarks on a quest to find her father and, facing hostility and fear, finally accepts the truth about her mother.
