She had nothing left to lose. At least that's what she thought.

Bronte Miller and her young daughter Madeline leave England and the only home they had
ever known when they venture to Australia in search of a new life. A job as Governess on
Tullagulla Station in the Queensland outback seems like a good place to start, however the
heat, flies and long days of work bring unexpected challenges.

As Bronte and Madeline settle into life on Tullagulla, the property is threatened by an
unexpected rural crime wave and its residents band together to assist the stock squad.
Then, just as a new relationship develops between Bronte and the local vet, a shocking secret
is revealed and her life is once again turned upside down.

Will she find the happiness she so desperately wants? Or will the hardships all be for nothing?

From the bestselling author of The Cedar Tree comes another poignant novel of women
beating the odds in the harsh Australian Outback.
