What happens when your search for the identity of your parents leads you to the one place you fear? After a difficult marriage breakdown, Ally returns to teach at the school she attended as a child. Her homecoming in rural Widyarra takes a turn for the worse when Ally discovers her colleagues are hiding deadly secrets. When Ally's chance at finally having a family of her own is put in jeopardy, she takes matters into her own hands. But who is the hunter and who is the prey? Pushed to the brink, the lines are blurred. One thing is certain, Ally will stop at nothing to protect her child.

Industry Reviews

'A gripping and multi-dimensional story of family, loss, guilt, shame and secrets that will go to the grave. The combination of light brush strokes and grim undertones make Wellworth a convincing and powerful story.'

- David Staume, Author/Screenwriter.

'Wellworth is a compelling story, full of mystery and intrigue. Eila's characters come alive in the reader's mind and make it impossible to put the story to rest till the last page is read. She is a master storyteller, showing us the best and worst of humanity.'

- Jill Baggett, Secretary/Treasurer of Mudgee Valley Writers.

'The search by Ally, a teacher, to comprehend childhood trauma seized my interest from the harrowing opening chapter to the last line. Readers are led to examine concepts of guilt, culpability and punishment in a typical country town setting that features a multi-faceted ensemble of country people, positive and negative. Ally leads us through a dark world of childhood trauma and self-discovery to the place that holds many unexpected answers for her and others, the notorious orphanage Wellworth. I enthusiastically read the novel in two days, but the images have lingered a lot longer.'

- Bob Campbell, Author.
