N2  - Aust'n. AU Author. War stories. Helen and Michael Francis are Hungarian refugees with no country to call home, Sarah Wiseman is a survivor of a death camp piecing together the shattered remains of her life, and Neil Latham is an ex-commando unable to return to his peaceful village in rural Kent. All four leave war-ravaged Europe for Australia's golden shores. It may be a new beginning, but for these refugees the work camps of Cooma and the inhospitable landscape is a far cry from the idyllic existence they have been promised. Alienated by the communities around them, they each struggle to forge a new life. But Helen and Michael's past contains a secret that has the power to destroy all their futures... It seems only a matter of time before the truth will be revealed
