About this listen

Hope

Single mother Sarah is guilt-ridden when an accident leaves her young daughter Melody seriously injured and their once music-filled lives silent. When she discovers her grandmother Rosalie's old war correspondence, she thinks she might have found a way to save her family, but it will require a leap of faith she isn't sure they are ready to take.

Heartache

In 1945 Rosalie is desperate to forge a career as a journalist, and taking photos for soldiers serving in WWII for the Snapshots from Home League might just lead to the job of her dreams. But when two brothers she's been corresponding with come home to Redgum River, her life is turned upside down, and she flees, vowing to never return.

Healing

When Rosalie discovers Redgum River offers/house/has a music retreat that could help Melody, the three generations of women reluctantly head to the idyllic town. And as Sarah draws together the threads of what happened here all those years ago, a heart-breaking family mystery comes to light, and they discover that the ghosts of the past can lead them to their future, and they might all be more in tune than they first thought.

Welcome to the Redgum River Retreat, where a fractured family has the chance to find harmony within the discord of their lives.

Boring

Such a very slow story, predictable although not much really happens, characters dull, often confusing back story with the present
