      It’s an uplifting book,Celina, though still has some drama and breath holding moments but the whole idea of this book is that you will finish with a smile and a sigh and the feeling you were there and there are amazing people in the world. I do believe that. xx

    My daughter introduced me to your book “The Homestead Girls Book” for mother’s day last year and was amazed at the Australiana content .I support Australian authors and found that I could relate to the theme of the story as well as visually appealing in the Australiana setting.You are a highly talented author who appeals to her readers both male and female in Australian lifestyles and Australiana settings. I would love to read your new book !!!

    Yay! Another Fiona McArthur book to dive into! Just love your stories – so full of Australian lore and landscape. I love being able to identify the places you write about, and then the adventures your characters have. After reading the excerpt I want to find out what happens and how different life in the outback will be compared to tropical Lord Howe Island. Another winner, Fiona (and congratulations on the Ruby award, loved The Outback Midwife 🥰
