From award-winning Wiradyuri author, Anita Heiss, comes a fun, light-hearted and empowering story featuring a deadly Koori heroine who is forced to choose between her dream job and the man of her dreams. Lauren is a curator at the National Aboriginal Gallery in Canberra. She's good at her job, passionate about the arts, and focused on her work – that is, when she's not focusing on Adam, halfback for the Canberra Cockatoos. But Adam is a player, both on and off the field. Lauren knows he's the one, but he doesn't seem to feel the same way about her.

Lauren has to make some big decisions: the man or Manhattan?
