GOOD READS

Best Outback Jewel in the North (Flinders Ranges Series #3) by Tricia Stringer - 2017 One Book One Salisbury Feature Book Jewel in the North: A longstanding feud of land and love, a family torn apart and a quest for the ultimate prize...

A breathtaking historical family saga of love, death and forgiveness and a quest for the Jewel in the North.

1895. The Flinders Ranges are a beautiful but harsh landscape as Joseph Baker, a pastoralist in that unforgiving environment, knows all too well. For three generations his family have farmed the land, married and had children at their property at Wildu Creek, but now, struggling with hostility from the local community for his choice of wife, Joseph finds himself fighting to save not just his friends and family but his very existence.

His son William has his own battles to fight: not only the drought that takes over the land but his own despair, as he faces rejection from the woman he loves. Meanwhile, a ruthless enemy will stop at nothing to take from William what he considers to be his. Could the vicious and cunning Charles Wiltshire be his nemesis? Or does another man, in a quest for the Jewel of the North, hold the key to his destruction?

As the First World War looms on the horizon, two men struggle to survive both the elements and each other on a quest to find that they hold dear — but only one will have the courage to stand strong.

The Crossroads by Pamela Cook 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.

The Family Secret by Fiona Palmer Kim Richards is a creative woman of the land, a rural ambassador who is renowned for her contribution to her community. But deep down, she is lonely. She’s already watched the man she loves marry someone else, and her dream of starting her own family feels like it’s slipping through her fingers.

Enter Charlie McNamara, an older corporate man who has arrived in Lake Grace on business. Sparks fly between Kim and Charlie, but he seems to have a hidden agenda and a past life he’s trying to hide. They’re both drawn to local hermit Harry, a Vietnam Veteran still haunted by memories from the war.

What ties these three lost souls together? Can they solve a long-held family mystery and heal fractures of the heart?

From the bestselling author of The Saddler Boys comes a heartwarming story across three generations about when to fight and when to surrender; and how new love can heal old wounds.

THE FAMILY SECRET features characters from THE SADDLER BOYS in a brand new story.

Story Time is a wonderful way to introduce your child to books and reading.

It allows children under five to hear rhymes, stories and language and broaden their creativity and imagination.

Each week (during school terms) a Story Time session is held at your local branch.

Giggle Time Parents or carers of children up to two years of age can have fun building early literacy skills through sharing books, songs, finger plays and rhymes.

The experiences that children have in their early years shape their development, ability to learn, social skills and self-esteem.
