Margaret is just 11 when she moves with her family to a new town. The change inspires Margaret to think about everything that is going on with her life and in her friendships.
Margaret relies on her mother, Barbara and her grandmother, Sylvia for love and support. They too, are coming to terms with the next phase of her lives in a new town. Three generations of women consider their place in the world and what brings meaning to their lives.
A touching adaptation of a book which means so much to so many. "Are You There?" shows us relationships that balance humour and heart and asks the big questions.

Are you tired of waking up with back pain or feeling restless after a night's sleep?
If so, consider an orthopaedic mattress to improve sleep quality and well-being.
But the question arises, "Is an orthopaedic mattress good for everyone?"
We'll explore the benefits of orthopedic mattresses and help you decide if they're the right choice for your sleep needs.
Orthopaedic Mattress vs. Normal Mattress
The term "orthopaedic mattress" often sparks curiosity, and rightfully so. While it sounds like a specialised medical product, it's important to understand how it differs from a regular mattress.
Regular mattresses may be comfortable but might not provide enough targeted support for back pain or sleep posture.
Orthopaedic mattresses are designed to focus on aligning the spine and relieving pressure. They can help ease back pain, joint discomfort, and muscle tension, leading to healthier and more restful sleep.
Can Anyone Use an Orthopaedic Mattress?
You might wonder if orthopedic mattresses are exclusive to those with specific health conditions.
The truth is orthopaedic mattresses are designed to support your body's natural alignment.
It suits athletes, busy professionals, parents, or anyone who values good sleep. They are perfect for anyone seeking a more supportive and comfortable sleep surface.
Consider an orthopedic mattress if you want to wake up refreshed and pain-free.
What is an Orthopaedic Mattress, and How Does It Help Reduce Back Pain?
An orthopaedic mattress is not a gimmick; it's designed for orthopaedic health. It uses memory foam or latex to support your body's shape.
By aligning your spine, it reduces pressure on joints and muscles. This benefits those with back pain or arthritis. The support prevents sinking, avoiding discomfort.
Studies show it improves sleep quality and reduces back pain. Find the right firmness and type for your body and sleep preferences.

Whether you experience back pain or not, an orthopedic mattress can significantly improve sleep quality and overall well-being. It's a worthwhile investment for a healthier and more restful sleep experience.
