Kitty Deegan knows exactly two things: that County Cork will never be enough, and that somewhere across the ocean her life is waiting to begin. With her brother Patrick, she scrapes together the fare to Sydney, certain that Australia holds everything home cannot give her. But the winding road of Kitty's dream takes an unexpected turn, and it's in the small New Zealand settlement of Riverton, not Sydney, where she finally puts down roots.
Steady, warm-hearted, and fiercely loyal to the friends she gathers along the way, Kitty spends her days nursing and caring for others, all the while wondering if there's a life of her own still ahead of her. Will she end her days alone, or will Riverton bring her the home, and the love, she crossed the world to find? Kitty closes out the series with a heroine whose quiet courage carries her, and everyone she loves, all the way home.
