Cover image of Joni Page's debut novel - a bright pink background with a faint compass rose behind bears the title The Feminist EarthMother PartyGirl in maroon text. There is also a trail across the cover, starting at A, going across the page to a computer, around the words down to a bunch of tomatoes, around again to dancing shoes and across to a Z. Also includes author name (Joni Page) and the quote "Who the heck is Candice Kelly?" attributed to Candice Kelly

Unforgettable characters and inescapable truths

Candice Kelly is a modern woman who no longer knows where she’s heading. Or what she wants from life. Or who she is.

After she believes she’s “failed” a simple personality test at a personal development day, there’s only one conclusion to make:
she’s misplaced herself somewhere along the way.

In looking for herself, Candice lets us in on her hilariously quirky world of friendship and family, of laughter and love, and of the tough decisions that face us all about our ambitions for life.

Join Candice as she travels her roller-coaster path of discovery to find out where she needs to be, and the person she truly is.

An exuberant and joyous romp about choosing your own destiny.

The Feminist EarthMother PartyGirl available worldwide.
