by Leonie K. Wheeler (Author)
Kate felt secure in her thirty-year marriage until her husband left to marry his young and pregnant lover. The rejection thrusts her into an empty and rudderless existence. In quiet desperation, Kate rebuilds her life on a property called Hope Valley in the stunning Australian bushland of Queensland's Atherton Tablelands. Here she unlocks the grim past of a broken family who had been caught in the crossfire of circumstance and whose healing would be inextricably linked with her own. 'Hope Valley' is for those understanding the need to escape and rebuild, for those needing to find a purpose in life and for those who still want to believe love is possible despite the odds.
