One Small Life

Suspense and secrets in the 1920s, on a heartbreaking journey to find true home. Grace Anderson is an outsider, abandoned as a baby. She thinks the job at the orchard by the ocean, about as far south as you can get in Australia, is her big chance. Instead it’s set to break her. Trapped and scared, she escapes to a remote maritime community, where kindness is a mask – but for what? In her darkest hour, she’s confronted with the disturbing truth about the family she’s never known. It shatters what she believes about herself and the people she’s come to trust. It’s a truth that won’t leave her alone. She must face a choice that will change everything. Despite the hurt and despair, what she does next will determine what kind of woman she really is and whether she can heal or stay forever broken. A powerful story about courage, love, and the decisions that shape us and the direction of our lives when we least expect it. “I just could not put it down, it gave me many late nights.” “Mesmerising.” “… love every moment of this fantastic story … read this book, that lets you experience a strong will of survival despite impossible difficulties.” “Narrative is beautifully spare.
