Jeanne-Marie marries a German officer against her parents' wishes and finds herself embroiled in the passions and tragedies of wartime Europe.
Eventually arriving in Australia, she makes a new life for herself - until the past catches up with her. It falls to Margaret, her young colleague, to unravel the final mysteries.

Dutch Point (The Lagoon Press: 1998): More than 3 centuries of W. Australian history mingle with the fortunes of the Burleigh family - shipwreck, murder and suspense combine to create a vivid picture of the developing life of a colony founded in 1829.
Coulter Valley (Trafford Publishing in cooperation with The Lagoon Press: 2004): Tom resolves to unravel the paradox of the Coulter Valley artists, gifted, yet damaged by a despotic father. But what of the Aunts, sad Bernice and vindictive Sophie Can the Coulter family survive exposure?
Klara (Trafford Publishing in cooperation with The Lagoon Press: 2005): Nazi racial policies disrupt Klara's Jewish family life. Sponsored to England, she becomes part of the Furlong household. But rescue is one thing: making a good new life is another.
