Publisher's Summary

A heartfelt and compelling story of family, secrets, and second chances, set in the heart of the beautiful Hunter Valley of NSW, from an award-winning new voice in Australian fiction.

Family, fortune and holding on to what counts....

For many years Elizabeth Lawson has battled single-handedly to run the family's historic horse stud in memory of her beloved father. But a devastating loss puts her dreams at risk. With no options left, Liz is forced to turn to her estranged sister Kayla for help.

Kayla has built a new life in the city as a wedding planner, far removed from the stableyard sweat and dust of her rural upbringing. She never thought she'd go back. But when Liz calls out of the blue, Kayla forms a plan that could save their childhood home.

Kayla's return forces Liz to confront her past...and her future, in the shape of Mitch, her first and only love, who still watches over her from the other side of the creek.

But Liz still hides a terrible secret. When Kayla learns the truth, will the Lawson sisters find common ground or will their conflict splinter the family once again?

Shout out to the Mob

This is a story about love and loyalty.; including love and loyalty to land and our place in the world. Past generations of land holders are spoken about with reverence and respect and understandably so. But I feel compelled to acknowledge that before the single century of this family's story, there were many many many generations of people who spoke and listened to that land; who were custodians in a way that revered balance and spirit. I feel they need to be acknowledged, respected and yes, even perhaps revered.

Predictable, slow and lacking depth

This was a painful read - slow and predictable. Aside from the main character being unlikeable, there was also no spark or connection felt between her and her supposed childhood love. The writer failed to build any connection between the reader and the main character which was a shame. Could have been better if you felt connections with the characters in the book.
