You can’t find where you truly belong until you discover who you really are …

Alice Hamilton is enjoying her new life in Ballarat now she’s stepped away from the constraints of her upbringing. She’s learnt the hard way that knowledge is power and is looking forward to her legal studies and making a difference as a lawyer with heart.

But back in Hope Springs, the world of her former husband, Rick Peterson, is unravelling. After a chance meeting a few months earlier, Rick and Alice have reconnected. And it’s fortunate they have, because Rick is about to need Alice’s friendship like never before.

Rick has always felt a bit lost - as a farmer, he could never admit he didn’t feel the deep connection to the land that he should. Now he’s being forced to come to terms with just why his heart isn’t in it and what’s behind his fractured relationships. Has his whole life been a lie - and if so, where did that lie begin?

From Australia’s master storyteller comes an inspiring story about how sometimes, when your life falls apart, help might be found where you least expect it.
