Change of Heart
In post-war New Zealand, 18-year-old Evelyn Rutherford is a young woman of quiet strength-loved by her family, courted by a man her parents admire, and poised to live the kind of life expected of her. When George Atkins, polished and promising, proposes marriage, Evelyn accepts with hesitation, trusting that stability will breed happiness.
But beneath George's charm lies a cold certainty, and beneath Evelyn's silence lies yearning-for open skies, honest work, and a life where she isn't defined by expectation.
A visit to the Atkins farm reveals more than family dynamics. There, Evelyn meets George's younger brother, Christopher-a man rooted in the land, unpretentious, and fiercely genuine. As Evelyn helps tend animals, scrubs out stalls, and shares unexpected moments with Chris, she begins to uncover the truth: happiness isn't something promised, it's something chosen.
Now Evelyn must confront what it means to want more than what she's been offered-and who she dares to become if she breaks free.
A story of quiet rebellion, deep love, and the cost of choosing self over convention, Change of Heart marks the journey of a woman who learns that being good isn't the same as being true-and that sometimes, the life you're meant for is waiting just beyond the fence.
