About the book

"Historical fiction, romance, and grit." Reader review At eight months pregnant, Raine shouldn’t be on a jolting bus crawling through snow searching for her husband. He might not want to be found. She might not want to find him. In 1950 Australia, Raine believes her hasty marriage to the volatile Teddy is working out fine. They have their own place, humble though it is. Their baby thrives. But when Teddy abandons his young family, a grieving and furious Raine faces hard choices – made harder when she discovers she’s bearing their second child. Are the words of the telegram the real reason behind Teddy’s desertion? Was there ever a future for them, or had his hostile mother been right all along? And what about the faithful, devoted Alf? He’s always looked out for Raine. He’d love to do so forever. With her baby nearly due, Raine sets out on a punishing journey to find the truth. And make the most important decision of her life. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Women's fiction at its best. I was kept guessing till the end." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Intricately plotted, the characters were hypnotically believable.”
