She scaled mountains in Nepal, Argentina, and Peru, rafted the Ganges, and rode a camel in the Sahara.

A powerful and sweeping historical story of love, loss and hope, set against Australia's vast sugarcane fields in the turbulent days after World War II.

1948. The world is struggling to regain a sense of balance after the devastation of World War II and the sugar cane-growing community of Piri River in northern Queensland is no exception. As returned servicemen endeavour to adjust to their pre-war lives, women who had worked for the war effort are expected to embrace traditional roles once more. For Rosie Stanton, reminders are everywhere of the brothers she lost in the war and she is unable to understand her father's contempt for Italians, especially the Conti family next door. When her father takes ill, Rosie challenges tradition by managing the farm, but outside influences are determined to see her fail. Desperate to leave his turbulent history behind, Tomas Conti has left Italy to join his family in Piri River. Tomas struggles to adapt in Australia – until he meets Rosie. But as their relationship grows, so do tensions between the two families. When a long-hidden family secret is discovered and Tomas's mysterious past is revealed, everything Rosie believes is shattered. Will she risk all to rebuild her family or will she lose the only man she's ever loved?
