In 1930s New Zealand, stability and contentment are hard won, especially for a young wife and mother. When Alice Simpson agrees to move to a sheep farm on a windswept peninsula with her husband and children, the lack of a house, electricity, and a decent road weren't quite what she expected.

But just as a sense of contentment creeps into her life, calamity strikes and long kept secrets begin to unravel ...

From the bestselling author of the Tullagulla series comes another poignant tale of women beating the odds in rural Australasia.
