Customer Reviews
Beautiful Australian story of the power of love
When I started to read this story, I thought the love of the McBride family and Abby and Barnes was the main thread. But our author had other ideas and the love of a little boy and a stranger brings the story together.
I so wanted the story to continue, it ended way too soon! Di Morrissey has a way with words which leaves you always wanting more. Her description paints a picture so easy to imagine.
