Sixteen-year-old Kate McGuire has a secret. Her father, Joe has disappeared, and Kate, her mother, Stella and sister, Emma are left to fend for themselves with little income and no one to turn to. For two years they are heartbroken, wondering why he left, or whether he is still alive. Kate decides she must take on a role she never wanted; as carer for her abusive alcoholic mother, and guardian of her sister who seems intent on finding the solace she needs her own way, a decision that leaves Kate almost unable to continue because of the hurt she causes. Kate is devastated because in her heart she is almost certain she will never see her father again, and wishes for his return on the dandelion clock he gave her years before, the seed heads of a flower she wrapped in a piece of pink fabric and placed in her memory box as a lucky charm. Kate wonders if she will ever find the love and affection she craves and whether her dad loves her enough to return to them and the place they call home.
