‘Y GIRLS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN.’
The book is set at the YWCA in Richmond Victoria between 1966 & 1969. As the story unfolds the villain behind the walls and the hidden secrets become apparent. The lives, times and happenings of teenage girls are interwoven with daily life in the rag trade, the evolution of Richmond, the politics of the Vietnam War, the multiculturalism, the gang land wars and the gender attitudes. The story sits between a memoir and an historical novel.
