'I scribbled angrily in my notebook, ripped the page out and held it in front of his face. "You killed my mother," it said, "and I've got the sausages to prove it." It starts off as a normal week for Rowena. A car full of stewed apples. A police cell. A desperate struggle to keep Dad off national TV. Then her world turns upside-down. And suddenly Ro's battling French policemen, high explosives and very unusual sausages to discover painful and joyous secrets that change her life forever' (source: NLA).
