A faded letter discovered in an old shoebox leads a woman on a journey.
An Australian journey that will take her from Sydney and Melbourne to Noosa, Emerald, and to the far west of Queensland.  To Bourke and the Outer Barcoo.
Her search to solve the mystery of the cryptic references in the letter written hundred and thirty-eight years earlier will lead her to uncover family secrets—some long hidden, or perhaps even forgotten.
Her discoveries will give her, and her family, a greater understanding of events that have shaped their lives.
It’s a journey that will forever change her life, and the lives of others, especially her granddaughter.  She must also finally face a decision that she has long avoided.
A story of past and present relationships and of Australia as it is and as it was.
A novel for those who enjoy a present day romance and mystery with an interesting backdrop of history.
