The bestselling author of Nowhere Else and Wattle Creek brings us a story of overcoming challenges and finding your inner strength.
When Emily Oliphant married John Stratten, she thought it was the beginning of an exciting new adventure -- standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the most eligible farmer in the district and pitching in to build a thriving agricultural business. Three years later, however, Emily sees her marriage for what it is -- a loveless tie to a callous man.
When John's cruelty reaches new heights, Emily is forced to move out, braving both her husband's wrath and her mother's glaring disapproval. With the encouragement of her new friend Barbara, Emily moves into an abandoned property and takes on the mammoth task of turning the unloved house into a home. In the process she discovers a new business venture, meets new friends and finds an inner strength she never knew she had. Emily's newfound confidence is soon tested, though, when the owners of the property make her a tempting offer. Will she risk everything and invest in the ramshackle house that has finally given her a sense of purpose? Or will Emily listen to the views of the community -- and the voice of her mother -- and go back to continue on the road more travelled?
