About this book
Lisa’s father has six months to live and a story he’s never told about his time in Auschwitz. A story she doesn’t want to hear, because she has secrets too. No one at school knows she is Jewish or that her dad is sick. Not even her boyfriend. But that’s all about to change . . . And so is she. Suzy Zail mines her family’s past, and her life as the child of a Holocaust survivor, in this Young Adult novel about family secrets, hope and healing.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: "My father never talked about the Holocaust. If he battled ghosts, I never saw them. There was the past - the camps, the loss of his family and his home - and then there was us. We didn't talk about BEFORE. We focused on NOW. And that suited me fine... But then my father got sick and everything changed. Suddenly he WANTED to talk. 'Inkflower' is the fictionalised story of what he told us, and what I learned while watching him die. Nearly all of what you read is true..."
