Book Description Paperback. Condition: Fair. 260 pages. Cover worn. For as long as she can remember, seven teen year old Josephine Alibrandi has believed her life to be any thing but fortunate. Born to a single impecunious mother from a s trong Italian background, Josie has never met her father and does n't fit in at her elitist Sydney Catholic school on account of he r scholarship and inability to conform. She also refuses to embra ce any part of her heritage, including her grandmother. However, to make her existence even more of a nightmare, she is constantly reminded of these factors by arch- nemesis Poison Ivy. Not only is Ivy her superior as school captain, but she is also after the charming, white-collar, extremely wealthy, John Barton. The very same man Josie believes she is destined to be with. Just when Jos ie thinks her life couldn't possibly become anymore convoluted, s he is finding herself more and more attracted to blue-collar bad boy Jacob Coote. And what does her fathers reappearance after a s eventeen year absence mean for her? Not to mention having to bear the burden of a thirty five year old secret, her Nona's been kee ping, after mistakenly stumbling across it. Will this new informa tion threaten to make her feel more estranged from both her famil y and heritage than she already does, or will it bring her closer to them. And will she be strong enough to cope when tragedy stri kes so close to home? That is all of course without even contempl ating the stresses of her upcoming HSC. - product description.
