Little Sister Song
About this audiobook
She’s about to turn their lives upside down…
On a freezing Seattle night, teenager Wynter shows up on Caleb’s doorstep in shorts and sandals, seeking help. Seeking sanctuary. Claiming to be his sister.
Caleb—Coast Guard hero with the perfect girlfriend—practically raised his two younger brothers. He always plays by the rules. He always wins. His duty is clear: give his little sister a home.
Pancakes for breakfast, rock music in the basement… Wynter knows she belongs here.
But when the authorities step in, will Caleb realize he needs to bend the rules? His brothers could teach him a thing or two about that…
Jesse—freshman science wiz and a legend in his own mind—takes on the momentous task of educating Wynter. Indio—talented musician with a sarcastic tongue to hide his pain—could be her role model, but he’s more interested in getting wasted than coming home for the weekend. These two young men are still growing up, but they understand that sometimes...
Love is not enough.
Trapped in the foster care system, struggling to navigate middle school cliques, and with her dreams of a united family fading, Wynter is offered love from an unexpected direction. Will she turn her back on Caleb's promises, on Jesse's guidance, on Indio's acceptance, and take the chance to start over?
Join Wynter and her brothers on a heartrending and humorous journey through elementary particles, power chords, and the meaning of love. Book 1 of the Wynter Wild series.
CONTENT WARNINGS: The series includes or refers to: child abuse, drug use, animal cruelty, not-very-graphic sex and violence, mental health issues, adult relationships, and gratuitous ’70s rock music references. Wynter does not have sexual abuse/assault in her past or her future.
About the author
I grew up in a tumbling-down Victorian house in the Midlands, UK, tapping out my first stories on a tiny blue typewriter. After moving to Melbourne as a teenager, my love of all things fantastical hooked me on escapist drama. Then I grew up—but I still play with words.
My debut novel Song of Scarabaeus (Harper Voyager, 2010) was nominated for the Philip K. Dick Award and the Aurealis Award. The sequel is Children of Scarabaeus.
The Wynter Wild series, starting with Little Sister Song (2019), is a contemporary drama featuring musical siblings from bad beginnings who are navigating together through unanticipated life changes, revived family secrets, and the many meanings of love.
