When her mother disappears into the bush, ten-year-old Laura makes an impulsive decision that will haunt her for decades.

Despite her angerand grief, she sets about running the house, taking care of her younger sister, and helping her father clear their wild acreage to carve out a farm. But gradually they realise that while they may own the land, they cannot tame it - nor can they escape their past.

Now I have a bias as I work for the publisher, but when this gem came to us we saw its potential from the start. It is a beautifully written family story revolving around the Australian bush. The characters are written so well they will stay with you long after the book is finished.
