'Matthew follows his heart back to the remote town in the Kimberley where he spent the happiest years of his childhood. He needs to find work, and he is also looking for his past, for Frances, the girl who once meant so much to him. But things have changed more than he'd ever imagined, and then a shocking event shakes Matthew's confidence and threatens all his plans and dreams.' - back cover
