From Karly Lane comes a heartfelt rural romance about starting over, healing from the past, and finding where you truly belong.

After a difficult divorce, Kate Thurston’s life feels like it’s falling apart. With two struggling children and nowhere left to turn, she takes a leap of faith when she inherits her grandfather’s rundown property—North Star—and leaves the city behind for rural life.

But the fresh start isn’t as simple as she hoped. The homestead is in disrepair, the farm is barely holding together, and her children are struggling to adjust. As Kate works to rebuild both the property and her life, she’s forced to confront painful memories from her past that she thought she’d left behind.

Just as things begin to fall into place—and a new connection offers the possibility of happiness—her past comes crashing back into her present, threatening everything she’s worked to rebuild.

Warm, emotional, and set against the beauty of rural Australia, this story is about resilience, family, and the courage it takes to begin again.
