Tiny is a homeless 18 year old who has been protected from the worst of "street life" through her friendship with ex-lecturer Zak. Nola is a senior student who is forced to volunteer at the same shelter where Tiny is residing - girl of privilege and little understanding of the plight of the homeless. Together, their love of story, writing , poetry etc draws them into friendship spurned on by the amazing staff at Hope Lane particularly the young chef Eddie who has past demons to bury. Very authentic depictions of life in homeless shelters and the personalities of the homeless versus the "do gooders" who try to assist and what their motives are. Found the story of Tiny and her teenage preganacy post-partum depression and escape rang very true and her reconciliation with her mother also very authentic - not the disney Happy family's version but a real life "see how it goes" version. Older students due to drug and self-harm references. ( ) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Everyone has a story. Tiny is an eighteen-year-old girl living on the streets in Sydney, running from her small-town past. At a temporary homeless shelter she meets Nola, a high school student on volunteer placement. Both girls share their love of words through the Hope Lane writing group. Can they share their secrets, too? Told through the eyes of both Tiny and Nola as they negotiate their way through homelessness, shifting friendships, betrayals, addiction and a little bit of romance, Because of You explores the vastly different coming-of-age stories of two girls who are learning to find their individual strengths.
