Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year is 1980, born and bred Sydney girl Katherine Brae has a yearning she doesn't fully understand. After the death of her beloved father, and the end of a torrid love affair that was terminated in an unexpected and spectacular style, Kate decides it's time to leave her routine bank job, cut her losses, and start afresh as far away from her old life as possible. Leaving behind the restaurants, discos, and constant buzz and excitement of city life, Kate sets out in her small MG sports car on a solitary adventure to the Australian outback. Ill prepared for the rigors of station work at Katana Downs, she struggles with the heat, isolation, and the back-breaking work required of her as a jillaroo. Adopted by one of the station’s dogs Paddy, a strangely unique red kelpie, and under the ever watchful eye of her employer Frank Noble, a wiry, sun-hardened and seemingly humourless bushy, Kate struggles and falters time and again. Eventually though, she acquires new skills, and discovers abilities she never in her wildest dreams believed she possessed. After being sent to a neighbouring property to help with the muster, Kate befriends Dave and Julie Anderson, owners of Crompton Downs. The adventure of a life time falls apart when Kate unwittingly finds herself drawn in to a whirlwind of emotions and secrets that span decades and lead to a seemingly unfathomable murder.
