A group of young children playing in the back streets of Richmond buy a bag of fireworks from the local newsagent

and have a day full of adventure until something goes tragically wrong.

A little girl begs her mother to buy her a pair of red shoes she has fallen in love with, and all is well until she is told a terrifying story.

Nine diverse stories written in evocative prose about early life and teenage dramas followed by stories written about life experiences and absurdities in later years.

The stories in this book are memories plucked from those moments in life that stay with us forever.
