Walking in the Rain
About the book
Once, Alf's bruised heart let love slip by. Now he's ready, but is he too late? 1954, Australia. Three years ago in a hospital in the Snowy Mountains, Alf stood by while the woman he loved re-united with her wayward husband. These days, Raine and Teddy are his best friends, their children call him Uncle Alf. Now Alf stands by as his days slip into loveless tedium. June, a nurse, witnessed the anguish in Alf’s eyes. A spark flared between them. A tentative kiss was exchanged. But Alf’s heart wasn’t ready. Life moved on. Pushed into searching for a new start, Alf returns to the mountains. He tells himself finding June isn’t the reason he’s there. Which is probably for the best, because it seems June has already found the man of her dreams. Can the stars be made to align this time? This emotionally immersive story of a tumultuous journey to true love will stay with you long after the final page. What readers say – "The entire book is unputdownable." “The queen of tension keeps her readers biting their nails as we shout at Alf and June to find each other.” "Burman knows how to write in a lyrical, almost poetic, way that perfectly draws a picture in your mind so that you ARE the character drowsing on the bus or shivering in the cold. Read this book. You'll be glad you did." The second (standalone) book in the Keepers series
