Rose By Any Other Name Author: Maureen McCarthy

ISBN: 9781741754261 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 342 Published: 1 January 2008 Country of Publication: AU Dimensions (cm): 19.5 x 13.0 x 2.7 Description: Rose wants to be alone but instead she's on a road trip of discovery with her mother. This is a warm, generous novel big on family dynamics and a rich portrait of a feisty young girl facing up to love, loss and life's big issues.

'Don'tcha just hate the way you get caught up in stuff without really wanting to? You make a wrong move, and before you know it you're in some weird scene that isn't you but ... how do you get out of it? Maybe you lied, maybe you stole, maybe you betrayed your closest friend. It happens. Yeah. Then it goes a bit further, and suddenly you're one of those jerks you hate because ... you can't be trusted.'

Rose is all packed up. She's got a van full of petrol and a stack of CDs. She's got a surfboard in the back and a secret that won't go away. But that's okay. She also has enough attitude to light up the night sky. Then her mother decides to come along ... and Rose's road trip takes an unplanned U-turn, straight to the heart of last summer.
