BIOGRAPHY: Olivia is the only child of Tilly Wainwright – a mother whose wild exploits and larger-than-life personality have often left her daughter feeling self-conscious and mortified in equal measure. As a child, Olivia would gaze up at the first star in the evening sky and wish for an escape from Glendale, or at least from the chaos that seemed to follow Tilly everywhere. Yet despite all the embarrassment, their bond remains ironclad. In the end, it has always been, and always will be, Olivia and Tilly against the world.
Gentle and introverted, Olivia often feels overshadowed by her mother’s bold and unapologetic presence. Where Tilly is all colour and chaos, Olivia is quiet and calm. But there is one wound that she never speaks about – the absence of her father. His identity is strictly forbidden, and all Olivia knows is he’s a ghost Tilly refuses to acknowledge. Torn between respecting her mother’s wishes and uncovering the missing piece of herself, Olivia is at a crossroads in her life.
