Honour thy father but what if he's wrong?

By Susan Mackie

Five generations of secrets, lies and half-truths. A century of consequences.

2026. Broken by miscarriage, divorce and delicate mental health, Abigail seeks refuge with her grandmother, Sylvia, in Yarragon. As Sylvia drifts into the fog of early dementia, she clings to the past, unravelling stories of love, lies and betrayal that have shaped their family for generations.

1911. Eleven-year-old Isabel Robertson arrives with her family from Scotland under the watchful eye of a stern father. Forbidden love, the aftermath of war and an unbearable shame almost break her. A choice made in quiet desperation echoes down the years.

As Sylvia's memories expose decades of secrets held tightly by women determined to protect those they love, Abigail begins to piece together the truth, redefining who she thinks she is.

The Yarragon Series is a sweeping, four-generation family saga set in rural Australia across three books, in the proud tradition of The Thorn Birds.

Honour Thy Father is the first book in a powerful new series about the women who carry the cost of family secrets.
