A secret kept for more than twenty years. A daughter intent on finding the truth\u2026<\/p>\n

In 1994, twenty-one-year-old Evelyn Taylor left England to backpack around Australia. When she stopped off in the dusty outback town of Kununurra, she never expected to fall in love with the place – and the people. But Joe Sullivan captured her heart, and when her fun-filled year in Australia came to an end, saying goodbye to him was the hardest thing she\u2019d ever done.<\/p>\n

In 2017, Evelyn\u2019s daughter, Libby, embarks on her own Australian adventure. Grief-stricken following her mother\u2019s death, she\u2019s determined to find the father she never met.<\/p>\n

Little does she know that digging up the past will be more complicated than she ever imagined.<\/p>\n

Excerpt<\/span><\/h2>\n

I was happy to see Cam and his family turn up only a few minutes later. They had spent their Christmas Day on the river. Three boats pulled up to the riverbank and the rowdy occupants announced their arrival with whoops and cheers and a few of them singing \u201cWe Wish you a Merry Christmas\u201d at the top of their lungs.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow\u2019s my favourite British chick?\u201d Cam asked, giving me a hug. \u201cHaving a good Christmas?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah,\u201d I said, my thoughts still lingering on Joe and Beth and wondering what had happened. \u201cIt\u2019s been really good.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about to get better,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m teaching you to water-ski.\u201d<\/p>\n

I frowned. \u201cI saw a croc down there earlier.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou better learn to stay up on your feet then,\u201d he said with a grin. Then he turned to shout, \u201cEvelyn\u2019s first attempt at waterskiing coming up! Someone get a camera and everyone gather round for a laugh!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks!\u201d I said, following him to the boat.<\/p>\n

It was so much fun. To everyone\u2019s delight, it took me a while to get the hang of it, and there were a few hilarious false starts which saw me nose-diving into the water. Then I got a feel for it and managed to get up out of the water. Cam steered the boat down the river, picking up speed as we left the house behind. He glanced back occasionally and shouted encouragement.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s turn around and show them what a pro you are,\u201d he said after a while. We headed back and a cheer arose as we passed the house with me standing relatively confidently on the skis. Joe had returned and I caught his eye. I was having such a great time and laughed loudly before we left everyone behind again. On my next drive by, I got a bit cocky and lifted an arm to wave. Disaster<\/em>. I let the rope go as I lost my balance and crashed spectacularly into the water. Below the surface, I spent a moment upside down and confused before hitting the air again, coughing and spluttering. Joe was at the riverbank and crouched to my level.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou okay?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThink so,\u201d I said, choking and reaching for his hand. \u201cI lost the skis somewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t worry about it. Cam\u2019ll get them. You scared me for a minute. Thought I was gonna have to brave the crocs and jump in after you!\u201d<\/p>\n

He pulled me out in one movement and I stumbled on my jelly legs, falling into him. \u201cYou okay?\u201d he asked again.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat happened?\u201d Cam shouted, turning the boat around. \u201cYou think you\u2019re the queen, giving everyone the royal wave?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought I was getting good,\u201d I said, laughing.<\/p>\n
