About this listen

A new life, a new country and a family with a tragic secret....

In 1962 Cindy drops out of college to impulsively marry an Australian grazier, moving from the glamorous world of Palm Springs, California, to an isolated sheep station on the sweeping plains of the Riverina in New South Wales.

Cindy's new life at Kingsley Downs station is not what she'd imagined, as she is flung into a strange and challenging world. Natural disasters and the caprices of the wool industry shape her destiny and though she tries hard to fit in, she finds she is always the outsider.

Adjusting to her new life, Cindy discovers that her new family comes with secrets and a mystery that haunts them all. When Cindy uncovers the shocking truth, the consequences lead to tragedy and Cindy must fight to save her family.

I really enjoyed this story and found myself having strong reactions to the story out loud while I was driving. I will miss the characters.

A well written story.

It was a good book however it seemed to jump years and years in parts and was a bit confusing.
It seemed the book had to fit a criteria of how many words.

Disappointing

Not what I would have expected for. Di Morrissey after all the other books I have read. Spent so long waiting for something to happen and had to wait almost right at the end! Very boring
