Publisher's Summary

This audiobook contains bonus content about the author's inspiration for the story!

A powerful and sweeping historical novel of love, loss, and hope, set against Australia’s vast sugarcane fields in the turbulent days after World War II.

1948: Change has come to every corner of the globe - and Rosie Stanton, returning home to Northern Queensland after serving the war effort in Brisbane, plans to rescue her family’s foundering sugarcane farm with her unstoppable can-do spirit. Coming up against her father’s old-world views, a farm worker undermining her success, and constant reminders of Rosie’s brothers lost in the war, Rosie realizes she wants more from life and love - but at what cost?

Italian immigrant Tomas Conti arrives at a neighboring farm, and sparks fly as Rosie draws close to this enigmatic newcomer. When an enemy appears with evidence of Tomas' shocking past, long-held wartime hatreds rekindle...and an astounding family secret sets Rosie’s world ablaze. At the dawn of a new era, Rosie must make her own destiny amid the ashes of yesterday - by following her heart.

Excellent story!

I really enjoyed this story. It had me hooked from the beginning. I totally loved all the characters. There is a lot of content in this story, there is a lot about racism, and the role of women. My parents were immigrants to Australia. I can relate to some of this content easily. The story flowed and I wasn’t bored for a second. This was hard to put down. I thought the ending was great. The narration was very good, spot on. I would highly recommend this story.
