Grace Harkness looks like she has it all - two beautiful children, four cookbooks under her belt, and an idyllic beachside home #blessed. But add another baby on the way (oops), a spouse that is nowhere to be seen, and a relentless list of things she "should" be doing, and Grace is starting to unravel. When the madness of modern-day motherhood finally pushes her to the brink, Grace and her friends decide to ditch the men in their lives, move in together, and create a "mummune" - sharing the load of chores, school pick-ups/drop-offs, and endless Life Admin.

Brisbane, 1975: Andie Tanner's world is small but whole. Her mum is complicated, but she adores her dad and the kennel of racing greyhounds that live under their house. Andie is a serious girl with plans: finish school with her friends, then apprentice to her father until she can become a greyhound trainer, with dogs of her very own. But real life rarely goes to plan, and the world is bigger and more complicated than Andie could imagine. When she loses everything she cares about - her family, her friends, the dogs - it's up to Andie to reclaim her future.
