Rosie O’Shea dreams of seeing the world. But right now, the outback hotel she owns is falling down around her ears, her bank account is empty and family duty means she’s staying put. Drought is impacting hard on Stephanie Bailey and her husband. They’ve already been forced to sell almost all their cattle. The rains aren’t coming and her husband is growing more and more distant. Sydney girl Faith Montgomery, at the age of 31, has just discovered she is adopted. Furious at being lied to for her entire life, she lands a job at the Crossroads Hotel so she can track down her biological mother without revealing who she is. One family. Three women. Will the lies they tell and the secrets they hide lead to more heartache, or will fate bring them together before it’s too late? A story of deceit, betrayal and love that proves that in the end you can choose your family.
