Some secrets are buried. Others are protected.
After the death of her father, Mia Whitlock discovers a collection of hidden letters that changes everything she thought she knew about her family.
The letters lead to the memory of a young woman who once worked at The Boundary Hotel in Marlow Creek before disappearing without explanation. As Mia pieces together the fragments left behind, she uncovers a story of friendship, sacrifice and a mother's impossible choice.
But the closer she gets to the truth, the more she realises that the people who loved her most have been protecting far more than a secret.
They have been protecting her.
A heartfelt Australian rural novel about family, belonging and finding your way home.
