Still heartbroken after the death of her twin brother, Dr Bella Grey moves to Lightning Ridge for a fresh start managing the outback town's general practice. It's a far cry from her city roots, but she quickly bonds with the charming locals and the Lightning Ridge Ladies. At one of their weekly gatherings, Bella meets the vivacious opal jeweller Meesha, who might just be the fast friend she has been hoping to find. Bella is also hiding a secret: she's desperate to uncover the truth about what happened to her twin, William, and moving to the town where he took his life - where his body was never found - seemed like the best place to start. When she learns that TJ, Meesha's opal supplier, had known William before he died, she's convinced he can help. But the irresistibly handsome miner has wrapped himself in so many secrets, it seems impossible to unravel them. Set in the heart of Australia's opal-mining district and imbued with the harsh beauty of that unique setting, The Lightning Ridge Ladies is a gorgeous tale of outback community and female friendship.
