Love Like Water

She stole a look at the man in the driver’s seat. Sometimes Jay seemed as familiar as her own self. Other times he was as different as another language. Cathy arrives in Alice Springs from cattle country, looking for a new way to live. But ‘new’ is a serious challenge for a girl who’s used to being measured by her actions, not her feelings. Feelings are slippery, like water. They escape through your hands. Love Like Water is a story of white girl, black boy. It’s a story of city and country, self and other, love and friendship. And it’s a story of identity, and the many different versions of Australia.
