First Day Of Spring

Chrissie is eight years old and she has just killed a boy. The feeling of it made her belly fizz like soda pop. Across her neighbourhood, Chrissie's playmates and their parents are tearful and terrified. But Chrissie she has a secret, thrilling power. Twenty years later, Chrissie has a new identity and name. As Julia, she is working in a cafe to support herself and her six-year-old daughter, Molly. All she wants is a fresh start, but the past hasn't seemed to let her and Molly alone, and when their future is threatened, Chrissie/Julia must find a new way to take matters into her own hands.
