Lisa Tonkin is on her way to find her grandfather—her only living relative, master of a cattle station in the remote Australian outback. In lonely Finch's Creek as she waits for her grandfather's car to arrive, she passes the time reading to a patient in a tiny bush hospital.

Even when she sees him with the beautiful, sophisticated Imelda. . . .
