Publisher's Synopsis
Bellbird River, 1998. Teacher and single mum Alex has arrived in the small town of Bellbird River after escaping the city, in search of a change of pace and the chance to reconnect with her young daughter. Across town, well-known matriarch Victoria and her globe-trotting, opera-singing cousin Gabrielle find themselves at a crossroads in their personal and professional lives, while local baker Janine and newcomer to the area Debbie are each secretly dealing with the consequences of painful pasts. With its dusty streets, lone pub and iron-lace verandahs, Bellbird River could just be a pit stop on the road to somewhere else. But their town holds secrets and surprises, and it has a heart: the Bellbird River choir. Amid the melodies and camaraderie of the group, each of these women will find the courage to leave the past behind.
