Exchange of Heart
Exchange of Heart | Darren Groth
3 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Munro Maddux has arrived in Brisbane as an exchange student from his home town in Canada. There are two reasons for the trip. One is to fulfil the dream of his little sister, Martel, whose life was cut short by heart failure last year, leaving Martel to deal with his parents' sadness, their forgiveness and their suspicion - since Munro was with his sister when she died and couldn't help her. Escaping to the other side of the the world seemed like a good idea. Munro gets a job at 'Fair Go Community Village', an assisted living facility in an outer suburb. There he gets to know the fascinating cast of young men and women who call Fair Go home. As the months pass, the notion of honouring his sister takes on a new identity for Munro. Fair Go is the adventure he was meant to have. But when a convicted killer escapes from the nearby correctional centre and takes the Fair Go residents hostage at gunpoint, will the legacy of Munro Maddux prove to have been living for his bright, beautiful Martel? Or dying for her?

I signed up for my first book exchange ever, along with my first Litsy penpal. I'm super nervous and excited. Any tips for a first timer beginner? Lol #bibliophilebookexchange thanks, again @collegecatlady

wellreadredhead @ABrakes85 The book exchange just pairs you with your match. You buy them some books and bookish gifts based on their interests and you get a package in return! We all open the packages on the same day. Let me know if you have any questions! 7y

abbsinwonderland @collegecatlady Im so excited! Will there be a chance to get to know our matches and talk to them to get better ideas? Or is it just based from the survey? 7y
Zelma @abbsinwonderland most people keep it secret and just stalk their match. Look at their posting and their TBR to get ideas. You can also veer from their TBR as that can be fun for your match. And used books in good condition are typically fine too. 7y
abbsinwonderland @Zelma thank you! I like the idea of it being a secret. 😊 7y
ReadingManda How do you do this? 7y
