Description
Ruby Tuesday explores the difficulties of being a girl growing up in today's world, and how strength and healing can be found in the wildest of places. It is a celebration of the joy to be found in music and creativity, and of strong, equal friendships and relationships.
Ruby was named after a song about freedom, but she's far from free. She's trapped by her mum's accident, her past as a famous pianist a distant memory. This was never the planโboth of them invisible and voiceless in a dusty small town. And Ruby wants to be heard.
But that was before Joey Milano. Before that awful party.
Now the only thing Ruby's sure of is that she'll never ever trust anyone again. When the opportunity of a lifetime comes knocking, and a boy from her past reaches out, Ruby's not fooled. Some things are broken beyond repair.
Or are they?

About the Author
Hayley Lawrence worked as a lawyer in a commercial firm in Sydney before trading city life for the coast when she married a pilot. Hayley and her husband had many adventures while she worked for a small law firm on the Mid-North Coast of NSW. They now have five vivacious daughters who continue to bring immense joy and utter mayhem to their life. Despite leaving legal work, Hayley could not leave behind the stories of the people she'd encountered. They are stories that provoke questions about the nature of humanity, and it's these questions that haunt her novels.
