'Seriously funny' is how Jennifer Compton describes the lives of her three heroines. 'If you don't laugh you gonna cry.' Fran, Mandy and Joy, single mothers living at the end of the road in some neglected country town, support each other with jokes about Tupperware and faithless men, fighting with hope the realisation that they are trapped in a cycle of poverty and despair. Compton writes these women with the love and familiarity of lifelong friends, sometimes mocking, sometimes heartbroken, weaving comedy from tragedy.
