Summary

When a simple mix-up leaves their father Joe’s estate to Eden, their long-absent mother, Clare and Aaron decide it’s finally time to track Eden down. But it’s been over thirty years since she left their remote outback mining town, and they’ve never heard from her again.

Aaron is dealing with a new marriage that’s currently trapped in immigration limbo, and his teenage daughter Cady is clearly going through a personal crisis of her own. After decades away, Clare has flown home from New York for Joe’s funeral, leaving her high-powered job and her not-quite-fiancé behind for what she thinks will be a short trip.

Neither Aaron or Clare are prepared for a fight for their inheritance against the mother who abandoned them as children. As they dig through years of secrets and lies in their tiny community to uncover the truth about Eden and Joe, will they notice the more immediate danger that threatens their family?

Really enjoyed the characters

Great story from start to finish. Believable characters- even the ones who turned out to be ‘baddies’. Good length for holiday read. Real fan of the author. Narration was perfect too.

Good short story

Nice, easy listen. Enjoyed this, as i have all caroline overington bookd. As the story is quite short I'm glad it came as part of my audible subscription & I didn't need to use any credits.

Another fantastic listen!! I love this author.

I binge listened to this in one. It had me gripped from the start to the end. The narration was brilliant. The story and overall performance were fantastic too. I never fail to not like something this lady has done. I wish I could give it 5 stars. I’ve downloaded another one by her already.
