How many stick and stones can one woman survive? Emma Finn once dreamed of being a photographer, capturing exotic landscapes and poignant vistas. Then a series of tragedies tore her life apart. All she craves now is stability-reliable, boring, safe. How many bumps and bruises can one man take? Ophthalmologist Asher Stockdale left big city life when his ex-wife took his young son away. When he met Emma, he pictured her as the centre of his new life in Clarence Bay. So why is he encouraging her to resurrect her old dream and go gallivanting around the globe? Dare he ask her to stay? How many roadblocks can one romance encounter and still cherish the love? If Emma goes to India, will she be able to heal, or will she regret her choice? Carpenter ants, a rescued Pirate, and a pair of scheming seniors help Emma and Asher to see what really lies be-fore their eyes.
