The black\u0026amp;write! judges remarked on the authentic feel of the Indigenous home life of Fuzzy Mac and her grandparents - her guardians since the death of her mother.\n\u003cbr\u003eAwkward episodes of teen rivalry and romance sit happily alongside the mystery of Gran's visions and an encounter with a ghost. The story sits against a backdrop of amazing characters including the holocaust survivor who went to school with Einstein; the sleazy, once-good-looking Mayor; the little priest always rushing off to bury someone before the heat gets to them; the wife basher up the road; Lola's Forest, dedicated to Lola, a traditional Aboriginal woman who met Ned Kelly - and Nan and Pop. Grace Beside Me interweaves the mundane with the profound and the spiritual - it is full of wisdom and good advice (Fuzzy call's Nan 'the queen of all knowing') on everything from how to to 'sit a while' in the bush and connect with country to how to properly hang out the washing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sue McPherson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43173758271731,"sku":"9781921248498","price":19.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/products\/9781921248498.jpg?v=1662060071","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/grace-beside-me-sue-mcpherson-9781921248498","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
