A fly-in fly-out marathon as she holds together her life with her teenage son in Melbourne.</span></p><p><span style="color: rgba(51, 51, 51, 1)">Written in passages of reflective prose and text messages, what unfolds is an intimate story of being a daughter of a runaway father - a father who bolted when the going got tough. Trevitt's attention to reality is as relentless as the paperwork, the corporate sloth and greed she faces at every turn. Nothing is straightforward other than the humour and openness she brings to every absurd and maddening situation from one end of the country to the other.</span></p><p><span style="color: rgba(51, 51, 51, 1)">This is a story of commitment, responsibility, doggedness and love.</span></p>
