Unaccompanied Minor (excerpt)

Synopsis:

Brenda, a rather lonely flight attendant, always chooses the shifts on Christmas and Easter, as nobody else wants them and it saves her having to confront her loneliness head-on.

Trevor, a young boy, ends up shuttling between Melbourne and Perth each Christmas and Easter, as his parents are divorced and live at opposite ends of the continent.

He travels as an unaccompanied minor, and ends up, over successive years, forming a bond with Brenda.

A heart-warming story about two people who fulfil one another’s need.
