Summary: "After years of being a full-time (and then some) wife and mother to eight children, Kelly Denley goes back to school to finish the HSC. Two years later, her staggering 97.3 result vindicates all her self-doubt, sacrifice and sheer hard work. But that, it turns out, is just the start of an incredible journey for Kelly and her family. Concern about her older kids: their problems at school, influences and behaviour compels her to take drastic action. Reminded vividly of her own wild teenage years, Kelly is determined to stop them repeating her mistakes - so her art scholarship is put on hold and instead the family sets off on a camping trip around Australia for a year, in the hopes that the experience will draw them closer together, show the kids a less materialistic way of life - and build memories to last a lifetime."--Provided by publisher.
