Growing up on a remote central Australian cattle station in the late 1880s, under the control of a harsh father and domineering stepmother, Charly knew what it was to struggle.
But when a devastating wildfire rages through the property, killing her family and leaving Charly alone and injured, her life is altered forever.
When a passing camel caravan takes her to safety, Charly undertakes a journey she'd never imagined. As life in the desert proves to hold further adventures for her, she uncovers past love and dark traumas surface, which she must face once and for all.
"Deeply moving and a wonderful read. A story that explores the strength taken to find happiness even amongst the darkest of times. 5 stars read..." Sandy, Readalot reviewer
