Hazel longed for freedom from her tyrannical father and from the constraints within her country. Her desires are fulfilled in Australia, when she marries the man of her dreams, but grief is not far off.

The theme of this book is grief, love and joy-the love shared between Colin and Hazel-and how they come to accept their loss. Intertwined with this is the recurring theme of the love of family.

Follow Hazel on the final stretch of her life journey.

Will her marriage survive the test of time?

Will she achieve her goal of becoming a writer?

Will memories of her past rise up to haunt her?
