Described as Hunger Games on wheels. Cassica
and Shiara live in a harsh outback settlement. Destination: nowhere. But they
have a dream. To win the Widowmaker: an off-road rally through the deadly

The story of a girl who suffers religious persecution as a Christian in Pakistan. Accused of blasphemy, she is thrown into prison. Life in prison is unpleasant, where Aster experiences dangerous and inhumane conditions. Her fight for justice is taken up by her cousin who lives in Australia.
Currently there is a Pakastani woman, Asia Bibi, who is still in jail five years after also being accused of blasphemy. Although a work of fiction, The truth about Peacock Blue will still be thought provoking.
