At 22, Sage Rampion has led a strange and cloistered life. She's been homeschooled, and she's never watched TV, owned a phone or spoken to a man by herself. Everything she's seen, read and watched has been vetted for sexism by her grandmother Andrea, a professor and old school feminist. Lately, though, Andrea's feminist haven has begun to feel like a prison. Sage longs to connect with people her age, and is hating her chosen career. In defiance of Andrea, she grows her hair long, and it catches the eye of Ryan, an artist's model. The romance they build behind her grandmother's back prompts Sage to start asking questions. Who was the beautiful teenage mother who abandoned her as a baby? Why has she never got in touch, and why has Sage been told so little about her? But digging up the past means confronting Andrea about what she's been hiding and why. Taking her on makes Sage realise she needs to escape and seek the truth for herself. Not just to learn about her mother, but to figure out who she wants to be. AUTHOR: Fiona Price has a lifelong passion for words. She talks too much, has studied multiple languages and spent her teens exchanging letters with penfriends all over the world. After declaring at six that she was going to be a writer, she began work on two projects: a novel about a wild pony, and an incisive satirical song called 'Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep'. Many years later, Fiona is still writing novels and songs, though these days she's exchanged farmyard animals for fairytales. Her debut novel 'The Ivory Tower', published in 2020 by Serenity Press, is a retelling of Rapunzel set in a contemporary university. Her stories have been published in Offset and The Big Issue, and she is a regular District finalist in Toastmasters public speaking contests. In 2019, she wrote a version of the old Frank Sinatra song 'My Way' titled 'Flyway' for the Newport Community Choir, which was performed at the Hobsons Bay Migratory Bird Day. She has a Chinese mother and an Australian father, and she lives in Williamstown near the sea.
