Set against the background of the challenging and unforgiving Australian outback, in the shadow of World War 2, this is a story of Love lost and Love found. RITA was born to follow her father's love of breeding and training thoroughbred horses, but fate dealt her a tragic blow. A single mother, she sought to make a home for her and her son. Fate steps in a second time, leaving her alone in a strange town, with 2 children and desperate to make a future for herself and her family. Those readers who have experienced True Love, will appreciate the delicate way the author brings to us the innocence and emotions of teenage love, growing to the stronger desires and needs of mature adults irreversibly in Love. This story is uniquely Australian with an insight into the life styles and social bigoted attitudes of the 1940's, 50's and 60's eras.
