This collection of whimsical poems tells what it was like to be the ninth child in a poor Irish Catholic family in the Queensland of the 1950s. It presents vignettes of the child's attempts to make sense of the world she encounters through the large and loving family at home, the not-so-loving nuns at school, through neighbours and playmates and the everyday experiences of her life as she goes from toddler to teenager. The poems lead us to wonder what sort of person emerged from those experiences, to ask 'Who is she now?'
