About this listen

An unexpected inheritance, a traumatic past and a family whose secrets are kept by the town.

After a fractured childhood spent in foster homes, city girl Roni has convinced herself that she has no need of anyone - other than her not-as-tough-as-he-looks rescued street cat, Scritches, and her unborn baby. Despite facing a bleak future, Roni distrusts the news of a bequest from an unknown aunt, Marian Nelson. But, out of options, she and Scritches leave Sydney behind, bound for the 800-acre property on the edge of the wheat belt of South Australia. However, this is no simple inheritance. With everything at stake, Roni must learn to believe in the truth of Marian’s most important lesson: everyone deserves love.

A captivating story of love, mystery, family, friendship and forgiveness.

I read the story to the end because I like Australian stories and can relate to the setting.

Really enjoying this writer and learning to stories of this community. The Narration is easy to listen to and compliments the storyline.

Good pairing with this writer and narrator

I thoroughly recommend you read this book. The main character is almost unlikeable, but the reader understands why and is encouraged to hope that she will find a way to overcome her trauma. Slowly, she does and we find that she is not alone, but through dialogue that had me grinning and high emotional scenes that brought the tears, I was entirely satisfied with the ending.

Beautiful story, relevant, humorous and with twists and turns that kept my ears pods glued to my ears.
