A Novella written by the members of the Port Macquarie Hastings Fellowship of Australian Writers – not as a collaboration, but as individuals who were used to pen the story on behalf of the characters, one chapter at a time using their skill to focus on the characters’ influence from which to tell the story!

A fracture is a clear break or any loss of continuity. The crack can be barely recognizable or a shattering into a dozen pieces. Emily’s experience teaches her about it in spades.

Her family break spirals and twists and when she is crushed by her romantic relationship with Don, what will become of her choice to realise her dream? Appearances are paramount to her as an enabler to stay focussed on skilling herself towards independency.

​But who can she really trust? And who is buried in her backyard?
