From the author of the bestselling Sleepless in Stringybark Bay, this new book celebrates life, love, community and the power of forgiveness. When former journalist turned caf owner Kate Jackson abandons her six-month-old baby and disappears without a word, the quirky offshore community of Cook's Basin quickly steps in to salvage a delicate and difficult situation. But even the best intentions can go horribly awry. Relationships are tested, loyalties divided and the future of the beloved Briny Caf , the beating heart of the community, comes under threat. It takes a group of bossy retirees to navigate the brittle twists and turns of the grim past to point the way towards a hopeful future. Wrapped in the colourful culture of a boat-access community, Finding Joy in Oyster Bay, the final book in the Cook's Basin series, celebrates life, love, community and the power of forgiveness.

At 44 Susan Duncan appeared to have it all. Editor of two top-selling women's magazines, a happy marriage, a jetsetting lifestyle covering stories from New York to Greenland, the world was her oyster. But when her beloved husband and brother die within three days of each other, her glittering life shatters. In shock, she zips on her work face, climbs back into her high heels and soldiers on - until one morning eighteen months later, when she simply can't get out of bed. Heartbreaking, funny and searingly honest, Salvation Creek is the story of a woman who found the courage not only to begin again but to beat the odds in her own battle for survival and find a new life - and love - in a tiny waterside idyll cut off from the outside world. Combining all the sweeping, rollercoaster style of a bestselling novel with the very best - and most inspiring - human interest story, Salvation Creek is a tour-de-force that will stay with the reader long after she has turned the last page.
