These are our triumphs and our heartaches, our fears and hopes for a better life.Getting lost, falling in love, pushing boundaries, exploring the world - powerfully honest stories to make you think and feel, from the award-winning author of The Dead I Know and Changing Gear.''Off The Map is a stunning smorgasbord of short stories - each one a treat to be savoured. These are stories that stroll through the Australian landscape with measured, confident steps that never miss a beat. Walking with Gardner is a delight - you''re in for a wild, funny and profoundly moving journey.'' - Barry Jonsberg, author of My Life as an Alphabet
