Weaving Us Together ebok

A sharp and insightful coming-of-age story about all the ways we find home from an exciting debut author and 2022 black&write! Fellow.

When I look back, I realise everything I needed was there all along.

I'm Jean O'Ryan and this is my story. I didn't know who I was or where I belonged when I moved with my dad to a little town surrounded by hills. In that valley where the rivers meet the sea, Seraphina Landry found me fallen over on a road. With a hand from Seraphina and the rest of The Crew, we weave our lives together using threads of hope, grief, joy and love. Never alone, I find my mob, face the worst of days, search for answers, and figure out what kind of person I wanna be.

A sharp and funny Australian YA about a non-binary Aboriginal person as they transverse the ups and downs of life, including finding their family, healing from trauma, and figuring out who they are.

From Gumbaynggirr and Gunggandji writer and black&write! Fellowship winner Lay Maloney.

'A story that will grab your heart with both hands. Poetic, hilarious and heartbreaking in turn, this book is a gift for blak kids and young readers everywhere' Grace Lucas-Pennington, black&write!
