AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Hope Junction is the essence of Outback Australia, a town rich in spirit but facing economic problems and declining population. The over-the-top characters are immediately recognisable and could be found in any country town as they struggle to implement their grand plans.

The book, loaded with humanity, tells of upright citizens brimming with pride, yet tempered by scandal and theft.

Isabel Tuck wrote the story as stress relief for her husband at the time of his retirement from academic life.

While Hope Junction is a light read, it thoughtfully deals with a major social problem facing country communities.' (Publisher's blurb)
