About this ebook

Mothers' Day has always been a special day for Sandi, because her beloved kids spoil her rotten. But this year won't be the same. Her daughter, Gracie, has joined her brother Jack at boarding school and Sandi dreads waking up to a quiet house. Even her husband, Paul, seems distant and preoccupied with farm work. So she never could have guessed what the day has in store ...

The Empty Nest includes an exclusive preview from Fiona Palmer's novel, The Sunnyvale Girls.

Ratings and reviews

Not impressed I paid $1.99 for a short story that literally took me about 10 Min to read. It wasn't even that well written.

Too short I thought that I was going to read a full Australian novel and I had no idea that this was only a one chapter very short story. Very disappointing.

This was a lovely short story about a couple finding each other again after their children have left for boarding school. At one point, I was in tears because of something special the daughter did for her mother before leaving home. Very enjoyable read!
