In Conversation with Rachael Johns

The breakout blockbuster of the year - a deeply moving novel about life, death and the miracles in between, by the award-winning author of The Patterson Girls.

What would you do if you thought each day on earth might just be your last?
Lucky by name. Not so lucky by nature.

Adopted twins Nora and Stevie Lucky have always been close, despite being total opposites.
When their mother dies, Nora convinces Stevie to search for their biological parents, only to come face-to-face with a life-changing revelation that sends them spiralling in opposite directions.

With their careers, love lives and even their sisterly bond at risk, they’re going to need more than luck to survive.

Rachael Johns was once (briefly) an English teacher, before turning her attention to writing – and never looking back. She now writes award-winning romance, women’s fiction, and the occasional awkward text. Her novel The Patterson Girls won the 2016 ABIA for General Fiction, and she’s a two-time winner of the Romance Writers of Australia RUBY Award.
