A page-turning new rural romance from the bestselling author of The Path Through the Coojong Trees. In the wake of a tragic accident, Indi Jaensch shoulders the weight of generations, determined to keep the family property near Settlers Bridge viable. But drought, debt and ruthless competition from an agribusiness tycoon are taking their toll. Local farm worker Blake Robertson is a welcome ally in her battle to save not just her property but the district itself. Yet will Blake prove to be her Atlas or her Achilles heel? Over a century earlier, as war sweeps the world, impulsive nineteen-year-old Rose Lehmann dreams of serving as a nurse in Egypt. Instead, she falls for the charms of a farmer of German heritage, Kurt Jaensch, who longs to enlist but is branded - with all his kind - as the enemy on home soil. Instead of the adventure she yearns for, Rose finds herself pregnant and alone, holding together a farm and a family in a hostile nation. When Indi discovers Rose's journals, her great-great-grandmother's voice echoes across the years, bolstering Indi's resolve to fight for the land both women have learned to love. But with betrayal close to home and the bank circling, Indi needs more than courage and loyalty to save her farm. She needs a plan.
