About this listen

Life on the Australian goldfields demands grit and determination – especially for a woman.

Adelaide Greaves, widowed mother and postmistress in the isolated mining town of Maiden's Creek, hides a dark secret behind her respectable façade. When Caleb Hunt, a battle-scarred veteran of the American Civil War, saves her young son's life, an undeniable connection forms between these two wounded souls.

But Caleb has come to Australia to escape his own dark memories. The mysterious widow and a town that needs him are the last things he is seeking. As their bond deepens, a figure from Adelaide's past emerges to further threaten her carefully constructed world. Adelaide and Caleb must face their worst fears in the race against time and nature to protect what matters most.

Can they escape their pasts and find a life together?
