From the winner of the
Western Downs Library
Mini Romance Competition 2011

Set in the hills of Rathdowney where the shadows stretch for miles up lush green valleys this is the story of a woman (Cora Brantly) who returns home to raise cattle and to raise her sons in the place that she herself was raised.

When a truck loaded with her cattle rolls over, when cows are calving, when fences are down and a fox invaids the hen house, she has only herself to rely on. But it's not all hardship, there are shows to go to, family to reunite with, rodeos to and weddings to attend, and handsome new friends to make.
