While recovering from a double mastectomy she begins writing the story of her family, in particular her risk-taking SP bookie father, to help her understand her world. As the chapters emerge, full of colourful characters and secrets uncovered, she suffers a horrific injury. Her extraordinary recovery reveals what others have always known; she is a survivor, her father's daughter.
