Sometimes, your heart knows the truth even before you do. The new page-turning family drama from one of Australia's most popular storytellers. As she approaches thirty, dedicated nurse Ellen Sutton's life is how she wants it - well, almost. Her younger sister, Carrie, seems to have it all sorted though: a successful hair business, a devoted new boyfriend and a rosy future together. Even Ellen's brother, Bodhi, is settled with his petite, super-chill chef girlfriend, Ingrid. So why does Ellen suddenly give up her career and family for the red dust and toil of an outback cattle station? She's never run from anything before - it's new territory in more ways than one. But Ellen can't run forever. And a family camping trip to Western Australia's beautiful Karijini country brings the three women together once again. This trip won't be the dream camping holiday for any of them. But one way or another, it will show them the truth.
