I really loved this book. the relativity of the main characters, the way they came through difficulty, yet their true blue Ausdie Battler tenacity helped them get up and carry on. and I am always a sucker for a medical mystery and a HEA thrown in for good measure.
About the author
Drawing from her earlier life as a rural midwife, Fiona McArthur shares her love of working with women, families and health professionals in her books. In her compassionate, pacey fiction, her love of the Australian landscape meshes beautifully with warm, funny, multigenerational characters as she highlights challenges for rural and remote families, and the strength shared between women. Happy endings are a must.
