"What does it feel like, to live in constant fear, Paige?"

"Oh, isn't it obvious? It feels as if I'm not myself. I'm not alive anymore.. I'm not living. It's called surviving."

Australian born Paige is normal in some ways. She likes pretty colours, drawing, and writing.

But, unlike the other girls her age, Paige never can relax. Her mind is constantly in panic.  After the terrifying car crash of 2018, Paige had lost the plot. She lost her twin brother, and her father. Her family has fallen apart, and there is no hope left.

It's not an easy life. There is Rebecca, out to get her. But... Not all hope is lost, like Paige may expect. There is a girl, living all the way in New Zealand, who might just be able to save her, and suddenly, Paige's life is more complicated and terrifying than she could have ever imagined.

Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home!

With the hunt for Bernie giving new purpose to Geoff's un-life, he and Naomi begin a quest to get back their cat.
