About this listen
------------
They'd bought a stock and feed store called, of all things, The Farmer's Friend.
Gracie could tell Jed thought it a great name. 'Farmers stick together. I like it.'
NEW BEGINNINGS
Jed and Gracie's move to Featherwood brings big dreams and open hearts, despite the drought around them. The ready-made rural store even comes with an ancient homestead overlooking the river, albeit one requiring some TLC. Gracie is expecting, and they're eager to put down family roots in the tiny community.
UNEXPECTED CONNECTIONS
Midwife Nell has fled her life in Sydney, hoping to start afresh on a small farm away from prying eyes and gossip. She strives to go unnoticed, but that proves near impossible when she meets charismatic Gracie and Jed, and the unpredictable, attractive Liam, who has as much emotional baggage as Nell does herself.
TRIALS AND TRIUMPHS
Jed's store becomes the meeting place for the town's colourful characters, people who'd do anything for their neighbours and friends. As Gracie's due date draws close, tensions rise between her and Jed when his impulsiveness strains their precarious financial situation. As a bushfire ravages the region, the whole town comes under threat, putting relationships and lives on the line.
Can quiet achievers, unexpected heroes, and a valley of part-time fire-fighters and farmers help Featherwood rise again?

Couldn't put it down
What a great read, particularly when you think back to the horrific bushfires of 2020 and what people had to endure
Fiona has created a community you just wish you were part of, I wanted to stay with them and see what happens next ...

Very enjoyable read
I loved this book from the very beginning. I was quickly able to immerse myself in the characters and the author painted such a vivid picture, it was easy to imagine being right there.
There were times when I didn't enjoy the narrator though. Fortunately the story made up for it.
As a fellow midwife, the story was made even more enjoyable by the mention of Midwifery Group Practice and the positivity of home birth. Thank you.
