A page-turning new rural romance from the bestselling author of The Path Through the Coojong Trees.

In the wake of a tragic accident, Indi Jaensch shoulders the weight of generations, determined to keep the family property near Settlers Bridge viable. But drought, debt and ruthless competition from an agribusiness tycoon are taking their toll.

Local farm worker Blake Robertson is a welcome ally in her battle to save not just her property but also the district. Yet will Blake prove to be her Atlas or her Achilles heel?

Over a century earlier, as war sweeps the world, impulsive nineteen-year-old Rose marries a farmer of German heritage, now branded as an 'enemy on home soil'. Rose finds herself pregnant and alone, holding together a farm and a family.

When Indi discovers Rose's journals, her great-great-grandmother's fearless voice echoes across the years. But with betrayal close to home and the bank circling, Indi needs more than courage to save her farm. She needs a plan.

'Another fabulous read with a feel good vibe of rural community delightfulness and plenty of drama.' - Ms G's Bookshelf on The Ironbark Promise

About the Author

Raised initially in a tiny, no-horse town on South Australia's Fleurieu coast, then in the slightly more populated wheat and sheep farming land at Pallamana, Leonie is a country girl through and through.

An animal rescuer and carer, she now divides her time between the lush Adelaide Hills, the location of her professional counselling practice, and the stark, arid beauty of the family farm at Pallamana, which provides both the setting for many of her stories and a refuge for the rescues that can't be released. Follow her social media for an overload of the fluffy, fleecy, furred and feathered inhabitants of her home and heart.

Leonie is the bestselling author of The Farm at Peppertree Crossing, The Wattle Seed Inn,The River Gum Cottage, The Willow Tree Wharf, The Blue Gum Camp ,The Homestead in the Eucalypts ,Wings Above the Mallee, The Path Through the Coojong Trees, and The Ironbark Promise.
