About this listen
CITY TO OUTBACK
Obstetrician Riley Brand leaves the city behind to go in search of her mother, who's taken leave from her marriage to pursue a passion for opal mining in the dry back blocks of an old mining town. Accepting a short-term posting as a fertility expert in Lightning Ridge, Riley plans to assist women pursue their baby dreams in remote and regional areas, while at the same time helping to rekindle her parents' love for each other.
UNEXPECTED ENCOUNTERS
The small dusty community is a far cry from her polite medical practice on the North Shore of Sydney, but the down-to-earth locals soon welcome her into the fold with their Friday night social gatherings. But no one is more welcoming than enigmatic doctor Konrad Grey, the GP who's working alongside her.
NEW BEGINNINGS, NEW LOVES
When an employee of their medical practice confesses she's hiding an unexpected pregnancy, Konrad and Riley are thrown together in challenging and wonderful ways.
A moving and heartwarming story about new life and new loves, about the treasures to be found above and beneath the surface of a small country town, and about the important choices women must make in life.

Good story but ordinary narration
I really struggled to take the character of DrGrey seriously with such a bogan voice. He often sounded unintelligent & not believable as a doctor.
Good insight into the lack of medical facilities on offer in isolated & regional areas of Australia.

Opal miners daughter
Loved it, when I could get passed the narrators voice. Made the lead male lead character sound older than he should be

Characterful
Hooked me in with the attention to detail in setting and giving the support characters depth. Plot built credibility. Very funny moments with the protagonists relationship pull. Perhaps the narration for Conrad a little out, but use your imagination to get over it!
A warm, well written insight into small town life, social issues, and the human condition by a quality author.

Enjoyable read
Good plot and character development - nice holiday escape. The constant descriptions of physique and ‘hotness’ didn’t sit well in the story development - making it a bit Mills and boonish and simplified the story
