'Heartfelt and passionate rural romance from the bestselling author of Brumby's Run.

'When Brisbane lawyer Clare Mitchell finds herself the unlikely guardian of a small troubled boy, her ordered life is turned upside down. In desperation, she takes Jack to stay at Currawong Creek, her grandfather's horse stud in the foothills of the beautiful Bunya Mountains.

'Being at Currawong feels like coming home. Her grandad adores having them there. Jack falls in love with the animals, his misery banished. Clare relaxes for the first time in years, and finds herself falling hard for the kind, handsome local vet.

'But trouble is coming, in the form of the Pyramid Mining Company, trouble that threatens to destroy not only Clare's newfound happiness, but also the livelihoods of her new neighbours, and the peace and beauty of the land she loves.' (Publisher's blurb)
