Wings Above the Mallee

By Leonie Kelsall

Forced away from the Outback she both loves and loathes, bush pilot Amelia Fraser has lost everything - except her compassion. Running from tragedy, she finds herself in Settlers Bridge, determined to never let anyone get close to her again... because accepting love might mean she is ready to replace her memories. And she'll never let that happen.

Widower Heath Brennan has learned to channel his grief into anger and self-recrimination. Haunted by the tragic accident that claimed his wife, he is a recluse, grappling with guilt and a heart full of unresolved anguish. His nineteen-year-old daughter, Charlee, battles her own demons. Once the perfect child, she's now a troubled university student in the clutches of drug addiction. Her rage towards Heath for her mother's death forms an impenetrable barrier between them.

As Amelia and Heath navigate the treacherous waters of grief and guilt, they learn to confront their pasts, their pain...and consider the possibility of healing. In the midst of brokenness, they might just discover that the act of reaching out could be the key to finding solace and perhaps, a way forward.

Wings Above the Mallee is a poignant tale of loss, love, and the reluctant journey towards redemption, where every character learns that mending a broken heart begins with a single, courageous step.
