Book description
Ruth feels that she can never be good enough for her religious family
with high expectations. However, life has a way of providing the
unexpected and suddenly, in a eureka moment, Ruth has the opportunity to
assume a new identity. She becomes Sinamon and learns to experience life
without feeling personal guilt. But meeting special people who hold very
different values to her own means that she has to make a choice: to go
back home or to stay with her new family. Which is the right decision
for Ruth? Margaret Clark is one of Australia's most popular writers
for young people. She has worked as a teacher and university lecturer
and at the Geelong Centre for Alcohol and Drug Dependency. Her novels

WHAT, KISS AND MAKE UP, FAMOUS FOR FIVE MINUTES and a trilogy about the
Studley family: HOLD MY HAND OR ELSE!, LIVING WITH LEANNE and PULLING
THE MOVES. BACK ON TRACK: DIARY OF A STREET KID, NO STANDING ZONE, CARE
FACTOR ZERO, and BAD GIRL, four searing novels for young adults, have
become bestsellers. Most recently her SECRET GIRLS' STUFF, MORE SECRET
GIRLS' STUFF, and WHAT TO DO WHEN LIFE SUCKS have been hits with her
many fans. Her most recent titles FRIENDS FOREVER: A SECRET DIARY BY
