| A Classic Australian tale told against
the harsh compelling beauty of the Outback From
the black-soil plains of Australia to the rolling hills of England comes an uplifting tale
of passion, courage and determination .... and a love as enduring as the land itself.
Alice Ferguson is eight years old when a savage
bushfire brings her idyllic childhood to an abrupt end. Alice's father takes her and her
brother Ben to live with his sister's family in the tiny country town of
Billabrin - then
walks out of their lives forever. Spurred by an indomitable
spirit, Alice dreams of one day breeding the best wool in the country. Only the belief
that she can reach this dream sustains her through tragedy and disaster .... but nothing
can prepare Alice for the treachery of her jealous cousin or the betrayal of the only man
she ever loved.
