A family drama that spans decades and explores the unexpected twists and turns that make life worth living…

Escaping the war that rages inside the walls of her family home, Eva moves out when her husband joins the navy and she volunteers as a nurse in Hamburg during World War II.

After Germany has surrendered and bombs have torn apart the city, and fissures appear in their relationship, Eva and Peter emigrate to Australia with their two young daughters, hoping for a happier life.

Success follows them across the sea to their adopted homeland, but so do traumas and memories of war-time life.

As Eva settles in Nimbin, a relaxed and alternative town with a celebrated counterculture, discoveries and life-changing surprises contradict everything Eva thought she knew.

“An inspiring tale of immigration, family and life in the small community township… What a wonderful read and a hard book to have end…” Patricia, book reviewer
