An Instagram scandal at a grammar school sparks outrage in a bayside suburb and confronts the families involved. It might also be the catalyst for welcome change at the school and its community.

An Instagram scandal at a grammar school sparks outrage in a bayside suburb and confronts the families involved. It might also be the catalyst for welcome change at the school and its community.

Liv Winsome, overwhelmed, working mother of three sons, wife to decent if distracted Duncan, reaches tipping point, when one of her sons is involved in an Instagram scandal. Then her husband accidentally locks her in the car.

Things need to change in Liv's world, and fast. So Liv delegates chores on the home front, challenges Duncan to tune in, and lets her boys' conservative school know it has work to do, too. Whatever those students are currently learning about respect isn't getting through.

Reluctantly, Duncan tweaks his work/family balance and Carmichael Grammar agrees to look at itself through the lens of gender. A colourful expert arrives, with a raft of interventions to improve the school's culture and its students' behaviour.

To everyone's surprise, things actually start to get better. Not everyone, though, is happy about it.

Inspired by true stories, Tipping is a novel for our times. Light-hearted, thought-provoking and inspiring, Tipping speaks to the power of smartly designed tweaks and the possibility of real change.
