Romy's Choices

Romy Wells is an accomplished thief with a gypsy soul. She comes from Perth in Western Australia and after a close encounter with the police she realises that her lifestyle cannot continue. She flees. A sympathetic trucker takes her to the eastern seaboard and helps her make a fresh start, but it doesn’t end well. An unexpected connection in Geelong sees her given the keys to an old heritage cottage in the forest, near a small town in western Victoria. Even though the locals embrace her into their midst she keeps her distance fearing she’ll be shunned because of her past. Her sister Carla is the only one she’s ever trusted, and they reunite after years apart, but she can’t help Romy with the enigma of the cottage and the meaning of the black rose. She has her own choices to make.
Living in that isolated house is an unsettling experience after Romy discovers it is haunted, but she deals with whatever is sent her way.
A tragic mystery unfolds as the past owners of the house try to communicate and everything she discovers comes into conflict with the people she gets to know. There is Hanna, her elderly cantankerous neighbour, Sheila, the church pastor, Dorian, the town doctor and Gray, the local constable. Each bring a different essence for her to unravel, but how genuine and trustworthy are they? How are they all connected to the church fire tragedy?
