Hopetoun Wives

At the giddy height of a resources boom, a new mine opens in the tiny town of Hopetoun, Western Australia. This remote and beautiful place will change forever, touching the lives of three very different women.
In a town full of strangers, Brigid, Jasmin and Miranda join forces to open the Boomtown Cafe, sharing their laughter and tears. Amid the chaos and greed of a modern-day gold rush, they discover true friendship is the most precious find of all.
