Heart Country

After seven tough years of droving, Kerry McGinnis yearns for a proper home. When her irascible but lovable father buys a property in Queensland’s Gulf Country, it seems she might have found one, but not everything goes smoothly. In their struggle to make a go of things, the family encounters fire, flood, a three-metre python and other, human obstacles.

Kerry and her sister Judith discover that life in a man's country is far from easy. At a time when young women are expected to settle down and have a family, Kerry must make some difficult decisions about love, marriage and her passionate desire to write.

Full of exuberance, humour and courage, Heart Country is an uplifting account of life in a land of incredible beauty and harsh demands.

Ideal for readers interested in true stories and heroism.
