From one of Australias finest storytellers comes a classic love story that will remain in your heart forever... It is 1953 in a small country town in Australia, a time of postwar prosperity and hope. The Holtens are wealthy austere graziers who have lived on the land for generations. The McBrides are a large and loving shearers family who are new arrivals to the district. When the McBrides eldest daughter falls in love with the Holtens only son and heir, the barriers to their love seem overwhelming. But in the end, their love triumphs even over tragedy... and hope and joy are their enduring legacy.
