Greed, fraud, betrayal and resurrection - this is a search for something to believe in. A search that takes us to a baby-naming, a same-sex wedding and a funeral all performed by Jo Blanchard, newly trained civil celebrant. Jo - recently single, 45-year-old mother of two - is the former deputy headmistress of Sydney's most exclusive private girls' school - Darling Point Ladies College. A year ago she was forced to abandon her post in a scandal that had all the social set talking. In fact, they're still talking. Jo is moving on - but with friends like hers, maybe leaving them behind is her only option.
Wendy Harmer is the author of the best-selling Farewell My Ovaries, Love and Punishment and Roadside Sisters as well as two plays, a series of children's books about Pearlie, an urban park fairy, a novel for young adults and the libretto for Lake Lost, a production by Baz Luhrmann for Opera Australia.
