The Worm Lady's Daughter

In the rugged, wind-swept dunes of Noosa Heads, a young girl named Cheryl grows up in the shadows of secrecy and survival. Her mother, known only as the Worm Lady, scrapes together a living by the sea, harvesting beach worms and selling them to tourists. But behind her mother's weathered face lies a life of sacrifice, lived out in the hidden alleys of Brisbane. As Cheryl comes of age, her world is shattered by a single night of violence that leaves her alone to bury her past-both literally and figuratively-deep within the sand.

Yet, the past has a way of resurfacing, much like the shifting dunes themselves. Years later, a chance encounter with a man from her darkest memories sets Cheryl on a path of silent revenge, as she battles the demons that have haunted her since childhood. But justice comes at a price, and as Cheryl navigates love, loss, and the passage of time, she must decide whether to continue burying her secrets-or finally let them see the light of day. The Worm Lady's Daughter is a tale of resilience, the burden of untold stories, and the relentless pursuit of redemption.
