Silver Threads
Lyn Denison

However, her mother is just about to leave on a trip with her stepfather, her sister is tied up with her own family and her father and his new family are overseas. Mel assures her worried mother she will be fine on her own and she drives north to her childhood home. When she arrives she learns her mother has arranged for her to go down to northern New South Wales to help out her mother's long-time friend, Crys Hewitt, on her farm.
Mel is horrified, and not just because farming is way out of her sphere of reference. Mel's mother is unaware that Crys, attractive, sensuous Crys, older than Mel by fourteen years, was the object of Mel's first teenage crush. How was Mel going to face Crys again after that so embarrassing moment all those years ago?
