ISBN 978-1-925263-87-9
Liam O’Connor was once a third generation, wealthy farmer.
So how did he find himself suddenly homeless and forced to live rough in his ute in a city beachside carpark? He’s lost everything; his heritage, his home, his family, his self-worth and life as he knew it.
After struggling to live in the city, and keen for his sons to meet his family and experience the rural life he once loved, Liam returns to Emu Creek.
But the pub is shut, shops are boarded up, the garage is closed, and like many small rural towns across the country, it has become dilapidated and seemingly without hope.
Facing the animosity of his estranged half-brother and sister-in-law, the wrath of his ex-wife and all the pitfalls of a town in decline, Liam must find the courage to salvage the future of his family and breathe life back into his beloved Emu Creek.
