Sanctuary

Winner of the NZ Post Children's Book Awards, this compelling novel explores truth and lies, guilt, grief and love.

'So where does the truth lie?' said Jeremiah.
'Huh, truth lies. Truth lies,' I said, giving up before I started, knowing I could never explain.

Months after her life has been brought to a standstill, Catriona Stuart is embarking on a painful search for the truth. The truth about her boyfriend, Jeremiah, and his dangerous brother Simeon. The truth about her mother, about her past, and most of all about herself and her secret and why her world fell apart.
