Books by Christine King

Anna and Finn McAllister are a sole parent family living in Castlemaine. After moving constantly for years, they finally find somewhere permanent. It makes a huge difference to their life; stress goes down, they get a pet, they finally get the chance to establish a home.It’s lucky they’ve found somewhere to stay long-term because, shortly after moving into 58 Green Street, Anna has a car accident which gives her epilepsy. Their whole life changes as they struggle to adjust to the new situation. After years of doctors, hospitals and brain surgery, Anna finally regains control of her health: just in time to deal with her son’s adolescent phase. Filled with love, humour and honesty, 58 Green Street describes the trials, tribulations and joys of sole-parenthood. A fictional story based on real-life experiences, Christine King lifts the veil of stigma attached to sole-parenthood and emphasises the importance of permanence and security.
