Sydney journalist Chloe Brown is painfully aware that her biological
clock isn't just ticking, it's booming. When her long term boyfriend
finally admits he never wants children, Chloe is devastated.
Impulsively, she moves as far from disappointment as she can - to a job
on a small country newspaper in Queensland's far north. The little town
seems idyllic, a cosy nest, and Chloe plans to regroup and, possibly, to
embark on single motherhood via IVF. But she soon realises that no place
is free from trouble or heartache. The grouchy news editor, Finn
Latimer, is a former foreign correspondent who has retreated after a
family tragedy. Emily, the paper's elegant, sixty-something owner, is
battling with her husband's desertion. Meanwhile, the whole town is
worried when their popular young baker disappears. As lives across
generations become more deeply entwined, the lessons are clear. Secrets
and silence harbour pain, while honesty and openness bring healing and
hope. And love. All that's needed now is courage... Praise for Barbara
