Publisher's Synopsis
Cecelia was only a little girl. She couldn't fight like I could. I called my mother the dragon because it allowed my imagination to take me away from her brutal reality. I didn't get locked in the green cupboard at all; instead, I lived in a beautiful castle in the misty Glasshouse Mountains where I was sure my knight fought ogres, gnomes and leprechauns to rescue me. My story begins five years ago, when I journeyed a path with my suicidal sister- a path I'm glad I walked and feel grateful that Cecelia helped me through. Eight days it took... eight fucking hard, long days. Life is One Big Beautiful Ride is an Australian contemporary adult fiction novella, capturing the memories of Bianca as she sits by her sister's hospital bed, after Cecelia tried to commit suicide. This story is an insight into the impact of child sexual and violent abuse.
