About this listen

This sweeping tale confirms Joy Dettman's place as one of our most gifted storytellers.

When Jenny Morrison fled Woody Creek for a new life in Melbourne she left behind a dysfunctional family, a town of small-minded gossips, and, most tragically, a newborn baby. Mustering all her strength, she resolved to put her past behind her, reclaim her identity, and pursue her dream of becoming a famous singer....

Yet just months later she is back - wiser and with an expensive new wardrobe - but with a second child growing in her belly. Cruelly labeled the ‘town slut’, she finds refuge in Gertrude, her kind-hearted, dependable granny and Woody Creek's indomitable midwife.

Jenny thrives and, daring once again to dream, leaves Woody Creek for a second time and moves to Sydney, where at last it seems that the beautiful young songstress may find happiness... But can the past ever truly be buried? And will Jenny Morrison ever fulfill her destiny?

Joy Dettman is a fabulously rich writer

From the first Dettman book I read, Jacaranda Blue, I've been addicted to Koys style of writing, her rich and complex characters. her weaving story lines and plots. im a firm believer she is one of the best Aussie authors whose books should be movies and moni series. I love the audio versions just as much. xx
