My Street
My Street
Every street has a story to tell.
To young Sarah, her street is just like any other, bike rides after school, backyard cricket with the neighbourhood kids, and long summer evenings that never seem to end. Everyone knows everyone. Doors are always open, and the corner shop always has the best lollies.
But as Sarah grows up, she starts to notice what lies just beneath the surface of everyday life. Behind the friendly waves and the sound of music drifting from Joan's famous pool parties, her neighbours are carrying joys, sorrows and secrets of their own. And as the years pass, Sarah's own family is drawn into changes she never saw coming, moments of laughter and closeness, but also loss, heartbreak and the kind of growing up that happens all at once.
Told with warmth, honesty and a child's unflinching eye, My Street is a heartfelt coming-of-age story about the people who shape us long before we understand why. It's a story about community, the kind that turns up on your doorstep when it matters most, and about holding onto innocence in a world that doesn't always let you.
Perfect for readers who love nostalgic, character-driven stories in the vein of everyday Australian suburban life, My Street is a debut that will stay with you long after the last page.
Yvette Woolford lives in Melbourne, Australia. My Street is her first published book.
