Nettie Sweeney has a dad, three big sisters, a farm full of cows and a cat called Mittens. But it's not enough. She longs for a mother. One with a gentle touch and sparkles in her eyes. Instead, she has Aunt Edith with slappy hands, a sharp tongue and the disturbing belief that peas are proper food.

When Dad marries Alice, all Nettie's dreams come true. The Sweeney home overflows with laughter, love and, in time, a baby brother. Billy. The light of Nettie's life.

Then tragedy strikes. The Sweeney family crumbles. Nettie tries to make things right, but has she made everything so much worse?

Reviews for Silver Linings

'The mini world that author Katrina Nannestad has created... is every child's dream.' (on The Girl, the Dog and the Writer in Lucerne) -- Better Reading 'It's the small acts of human kindness that make this book sing. Heart-swelling, and with characters that won't be forgotten.' (on We Are Wolves) -- Zana Fraillon, award-winning author of The Bone Sparrow 'Profound, emotional and gripping, Nannestad’s writing is also sensitive enough to depict the darkest parts of history in a way that is appropriate for children without holding back.'
