Seeing

Are you seeing me? - Darren Groth  

 

 

It's been more than a year since they watched their dad lose his battle with cancer, leaving nineteen-year-old Justine as the sole carer for disabled brother.  Now, the twins' reliance on each other is set to shift.  Before they go thier separate ways, they're seeking to create the perfect memory.

For Perry, the trip is a glorious celebration of his favourite things: mythical sea monsters, Jackie Chan movies and the study of earthquakes.

For Justine, it's a chance to 'free' her twin, to see who she is without her boyfriend Marc - and to offerr their mother the chance to atone for past wrongs.

Hannah should feel terrible but for the first time in ages, she feels a glimmer of hope and isn't afraid anymore.  Is it because the elusive Josh is taking an interest in her?  Or does it run deeper than that?
