Norah’s husband was killed in the Great War, and she’s struggling to provide a home for her daughter. Andrew’s wife is dead and he wants to make a new life for his two sons.

The Australian government is giving ex-servicemen a farm. But to join the group settlement scheme, Andrew must find a wife. Will a marriage of convenience give Andrew and Norah the chance they seek? Can two strangers be happy together?

In Australia they have to clear the forest to make their own farms. But they’re both strong and willing to give it everything they’ve got. Then nature intervenes and not only their farms but their lives are in danger. Will they survive? Can they still make their dreams come true?
