***

Annie and Jak – mother and wayward son. Jak is playing silly buggers when he steps into a nest of jack jumpers.                              
     The first sting in the tale of his life trajectory.
Annie believes her destiny was unwittingly ordained through her father’s deception, long ago in the wake of Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination. Separate, violent events sabotage their lives and each is beset by guilt. They hide from the world and each other for seven years, Jak in India seeking redemption, Annie in Tasmania harvesting resentment.
     Unpredictable, like jack jumpers.  
When Jak rings Annie about a plan, born from his childhood dream to sculpt a café in the abandoned granite quarry on Tasmania’s Freycinet Peninsula, she realizes he needs her.
     Will she exonerate and assist him? Or destroy him?

 

Included at the end of the book are discussion questions for Book Clubs.

Good quality
Size: X-Large, Color: Truest Blue
These are nice trendy jeans but they weren’t as baggy as I anticipated. But I kept them anyways because they are a good quality Jean. You may want to size up for a baggier look.

Great replica
Size: Small, Color: Calypso Blue
I love Free People. But pretty pricey. These are as close as you can get. Material is medium heavy, but comfortable with detailing exactly like the original design. True to size. Great look and comfortable. A really fun and casual look.

Good item but not close to the real one
I was excited to get this item but in the end nothing like the real thing. Fits high, ok on the material but the finishes could have been better.

Best boots I have ever purchased
I do appraisal work so I was looking for something cute/professional yet durable and rugged for when I work outside in all types of weather. Found it! So comfortable, so cute, and waterproof. I wear them most days for both office work and inspection work. I range between 8.5-9 and I got a 9 and they fit great both with thin socks or thick socks. I very highly recommend.
