A small town called Coongahoola, with the dark Bagooli River running through it.
The Bleeders hundreds of Believers who move in and set up on the banks of the river. Who start buying up the town, and winning souls.
The River Children
born in the aftermath of the infamous River Picnic. They start to go missing, one after the other. Gracie Barrett, the naively savvy spokesperson for her chaotic family (promiscuous dad, angry mum, twins Lucky and Grub, Elijah the River Child and fervent, prayerful Grandma Bett), for the kids who are taken, for the lurking fear that locks down the town and puts everyone under suspicion. Gracie is funny and kind, bullied and anguished, and her life spirals out of control when she discovers she knows what no one else does: who is responsible. All Our Secrets is jaunty, quirky and heart-achingly real. Coongahoola is where hope and fear collide, where tender adolescence is confronted by death, where kindness is a glimmer of light in the dark.
