'When Joss sets off down the south coast, she is fleeing both a miserable marriage and her lonely childhood. At the same time, she is pursuing Karmi, a long-ago friend who once showed her another way to live. The magnetic, free-living Karmi embodies everything Joss wants to be.
Now Joss is fleeing to rebuild her life, she still believes Karmi has the key, but finding her proves not so easy.
The coastal region is facing changes, from forest logging to spreading urbanisation. Joss is thrust into town life in Mungabula, where she takes on Karmi's model of courage to absolve her past.
And not the least of her challenges is the laconic but disarming Fletch…' (Publisher's blurb)
