When she discovers her grandmother Rosalie's war correspondence, she thinks she might have found a way to save her family, but it will require a leap of faith. In 1945, Rosalie is desperate to forge a career as a journalist, and taking photos for soldiers serving in the war might just lead to the job of her dreams. But when two brothers she's been corresponding with come home to Redgum River, her life is turned upside down and she flees, vowing to never return. The hope that a music retreat can help Melody lures the three generations of women to Redgum River, where Sarah draws the threads of Rosalie's past together. When a heartbreaking family mystery comes to light, they discover that the ghosts of the past can lead them to their future, and they might all be more in tune than they first thought.
