Becoming Aurora | Elizabeth Kasmer
1 post | 1 read | 2 to read
Winner of the 2015 Queensland Literary Awards, Emerging Writer Category. Tonight we are wolves. Our pack moves as one, past empty shop fronts and faded billboards. Sixteen-year-old Rory is at a crossroads in her life. While her gang plans its next move in a racially motivated turf war, Rory is sentenced to spend her summer at an aged care facility. Shes proud of taking the rap for a crime her gang committed and reading to a feisty old boxing champion isnt going to change that.But what happens when Rorys path intersects with migrant boxer Essams and she becomes the victim, not the perpetrator? Can she find the courage to face her past and become the girl her dad called Aurora?
