  • Details

Footsteps approach behind me. I turn and see an Aboriginal boy arriving at the doorway. He's tall, taller than me. He's got curly hair. His body is fit. His chest is chiselled and bare and he's wearing only football shorts.When 17-year-old Jonah arrives in a new town—Patience—with his dad and younger brothers, it feels like a foreign place. A new town means he needs to make new friends—which isn't always easy. Especially when he's wrestling with his body image, and his memories of his mother.When he joins the local footy team so he can spend more time with his new crush, Harley, he feels like he's moving closer to something good. But even though he knows what he wants, it doesn't mean he's ready.
