‘This novel takes us to the heart of the real Australia – a fantastic read.’
Lee Kernaghan
From the bestselling author of The Stockmen.
After a terrible argument with her father over their family property, Waters Meeting, Rebecca Saunders throws her swag in the ute and heads north with her three dogs. A job as a jillaroo takes her into the rowdy world of B&S balls, Bundy Rum and boys. When she at last settles down to a bit of study at agricultural college, her life is turned upside down by the very handsome but very drunken party animal Charlie Lewis.
Will she choose a life of wheat farming on vast open plains with Charlie? Or will she return to the mountains, to fight for the land and the river that runs through her soul? It's only when tragedy shatters her world that Rebecca finds a strength and courage she never knew she had, in this action packed novel of adventure, dreams and determination.
‘Rebecca is a wonderful character being both feisty and fallible ... The author’s sold and believable characters and plot ... make Jilaroo a widely appealing read. In short, a real treasure.’
Australian Bookseller & Publisher
‘Jilaroo has plenty of laughs, tears and emotion – this is a rural romance novel that will be enjoyed by generation X.’
