Midlife
Ready for a rich, ribald farce that'll make you laugh till something explodes? With chapter names like Don't Talk to the Underpants, Well it Felt Like a Tail, Would You Like Your Hedge Trimmed?, and Purple-Headed Junket-Pumper, you know you're in good hands. Well … bits of you, anyway. So join Wally and Masey Head, Bruce the Crumpet-Crazed Gardener, the Lovely Tess, the Tiny Police Force, and the Beautiful Fat Twins for a rollicking risque romp with rope and romance. . ★★★★★ "So Much More Than a Crazy, Stupid Love Story" - Australian author "Alarna Rose Gray" "LOL funny in an Aussie, oh-so-wrong, politically incorrect way. If you can (ahem) swallow that, then beneath all the sex, humour and bravado you will find a vulnerable, honest, touching tale of what it means to be human... Approach it with an open mind, and what you get is a story about change that will, in fact, change you." Three words. Irreverent. Uplifting. Life-changing."

And while the impact on drug supply was widely reported, the story of what led to this scarcity has never been told - until WHITE.
