About this ebook
Callie Madden, a grieving widow and single mother of three, is stunned to learn she’s inherited one half of Hawkridge, a beautiful acreage in the Misty Mountains of Far North Queensland.
A potential family scandal surrounds the reasons for this bequest and there are additional complications. Callie is to share the inheritance with Ben Galbraith, a Scotsman, who’d helped Hawkridge’s owner in his final years. Also, the property can’t be sold for twelve months.
Callie’s life is in Townsville with her teenage twin daughters and six year old son. Ben plans to return to Scotland. How can they negotiate an entire year of caring for Hawkridge? And as they try to work together, is there more at stake than the property’s future?
Set on the picturesque hinterland of Australia's tropical far north, this is a deeply moving and uplifting story about making the most of the unexpected opportunities life throws your way. Ideal for fans of Tricia Stringer and Fiona Lowe.
