A place like this / Herrick, Steven

Jack and Annabel have decided to put off university and drive around the country. It all seems wildly romantic, but when their car dies two days into the trip, they end up at George's apple orchard, figuring it's just a temporary place to stay and earn some money.

A verse novel set in Australia in which two young lovers postpone college to embark on a road trip and find themselves working on an apple orchard, where they become immersed in the life of the owner's teenage daughter, who is pregnant as the result of a rape.
