A gritty and darkly hilarious story of family, trauma, and resilience in Bundjalung country.


Wise-cracking Kerry Salter, a lifetime avoider of her hometown and prison, returns to Bundjalung country on a stolen Harley after learning of her Pop's impending death. She quickly discovers that her family is fighting to stop the development of their beloved river, and finds herself caught in the ensuing chaos.


As old family wounds open, Kerry must navigate the complexities of her relationships while grappling with her own demons. The unexpected arrival of a good-looking dugai fella only adds to the trouble. Will Kerry find redemption and forgiveness amidst the turmoil? Too Much Lip is a fearless and funny portrait of a family grappling with intergenerational trauma, cultural identity, and the fight for their land. For readers who enjoy character-driven stories with heart, humor, and a touch of the absurd.
