Looking for Alibrandi Reflection journal and review

At home she has to deal with her mother who is single and her grandmother who always tries to control her life. At the end of the chapter we find out that Josie's father has turned up at Sydney. Michael Andretti is his name and he is a barrister who has lived in Adelaide for the past seventeen years. This means Josephine has never seen or met her father which is pretty sad. She also lives on the poorer side of Glebe.
