Janet says…<\/h3>\n

I loved going back to Coorah Creek \u2013 it was so good to meet old friends there. And to find some new ones.<\/p>\n

The Australian Outback is a wild and wonderful place. Some people go there to escape from the past. But emotions run close to the surface in wild places. The past may still haunt you. Or you may find a chance at redemption \u2013 if you are strong enough to take that chance.<\/p>\n

This was one of my favourite books to write (so far) \u2013 I hope you\u2019ll enjoy reading it too.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
