Living on Hope Street
Demet Divaroren

We all love someone. We all fear something. Sometimes they live right next door--or even closer. Kane will do everything he can to save his mother and his little brother Sam from the violence of his father, even if it means becoming a monster himself. Mrs. Aslan will protect the boys no matter what--even though her own family is in pieces. Ada wants a family she can count on, while she faces new questions about herself. Mr. Bailey is afraid of the refugees next door, but his worst fear will take another form. And Gugulethu is just trying to make a life away from terror. On this street, everyone comes from different places, but to find peace they will have to discover what unites them. A deeply moving, unflinching portrait of modern Australian suburban life.
