Flowers In Her Hair

By Mark Wisnewski

A year that changed Australia. A summer that changed her forever. A girl who thought she knew herself-until the road showed her everything she'd forgotten to dream.

1970.

Seventeen-year-old Lisa Walters believes her future is already set: finish school, find a job, keep her head down. But everything shifts the day she meets a sun-kissed surfer named David, a kombi full of wandering strangers, and a wild, magnetic girl with laughter like fireworks-Willow.

Swept into the orbit of a free-spirited tribe-Gypsy, Shelly, Shay, Ryder, Jindamurra-Lisa is introduced to barefoot mornings, river swims, firelight songs, and a kind of love that blurs every line she thought she understood. A love that frees her. A love that breaks her open. A love that asks her who she wants to become.

But the road never stays still. And the Summer of '70 can't last forever.

From the beat of the Byron surf to the quiet magic of the Uki Sanctuary, Flowers in Her Hair is a tender, nostalgic, deeply Australian coming-of-age novel about first love, chosen family, identity, and the people who stay with us long after they're gone.

Some places shape you. Some people change you. And some summers never leave at all.
