Publisher's Summary

Schoolteacher Natalie has always been a city girl. When Nat takes up a posting at a tiny school in remote Western Australia, it proves quite the culture shock. But soon Natalie is welcomed by the inquisitive locals - particularly young student Billy and his intriguing single father, Drew.

As Nat's school comes under threat of closure and Billy's estranged mother turns up out of the blue, Nat finds herself fighting for the township and battling with her heart.

Snore

Man! I am 11 chapters in an nothing has happened. Primary teacher and city girl Nat has moved to a backwater town as her first official teacher posting and then proceeds to be boring. Even the hot Drew with his "Mr January" muscles can't save this snooze fest.

Easy listening

This was a nice easy listening, feel good, fairly predictable story. Not complicated, not too many characters.
