SYDNEY'S SONG

Vividly describing the people of Sydney, this real-life socio fiction aims to entertain readers of any genre who occasionally want something different in their bookshelves.

A love story no reader will ever forget…

Olympic fever runs high in the Australian summer of 1999 and 17-year-old Sydney has caught it.

Little does she know taking a holiday job in the beehive that is the Olympics' public-transport call centre will be life altering.

Shaken by her parents’ divorce, the sheltered Aussie is further plagued by abusive callers, obnoxious government agencies, constrictive office rules, and liberated friends.

She is trying to negotiate these challenges as her own personal Olympics when Pete finds her.

Pete, Boston's former child prodigy, whose soothing voice floats across her workstation, sees through Sydney's tough outer shell.

Pete knows what it takes to present a dignified front when all you want to do is howl at the moon.

Treating their friendship like an art, he invests time and creative effort to pull Sydney out of her despair.

Tragedy strikes when an accident leaves Pete with a major brain injury in a Boston hospital.

When the going gets very, very tough, will you abandon the one who has promised to love you until he dies?

Set in Sydney and Boston where heartbreaks are juxtaposed with Sydney's sense of humour, SYDNEY’S SONG is a young girl's courageous journey to adulthood.

A work of fiction based on real events, this novel with an Australian accent also shows the world that living with disabilities does not prevent a person from attaining happiness.
