Having led a sheltered life, Cassie finds herself alone in a strange city, half way between a daughter on the verge of her own adult life and a husband she cannot go back to. Having decided she belongs to neither of these worlds, she meets the colourful Louise and her son Nick, who help her discover what she needs to make a new life for herself in Christchurch. As Cassie finds her feet, she faces the challenges of a past unwilling to leave her alone and a man who wants more from her than she is willing to give.
Beside The Brook
Kirsten finds herself a long way from home when she takes a job in the idyllic Marlborough Sounds, caring for a seven year old girl who lost her mother when she was a baby.

Kirsten is also faced with the challenge of Sarah's commonly absent father, Jamie, and her roguish uncle, Tyler. Two strangely different people, they tolerate each other to be close to Sarah, the only remnant left of Brook, a woman they both loved. Drawn in by this eclectic family, Kirsten finds there is more to their story than meets the eye, and turns to the only person willing to answer some of her most pressing questions; Brook.

Her memory of family is something she’d rather forget, but when Mike’s kin embraces her as one of their own, she begins to doubt her beliefs and is forced to take a good look at her tattered past. Have her painful secrets been locked away too long for a few understanding words to release them?
