What the eye can’t see can save us.It’s 1980 and in Australia’s hottest town, on the far north coast of the continent, everyone’s running from something. Bec has just rolled in, chased by a ghost and maybe more, abandoning a life in pieces and a promising career as a journalist.Driving the dusty street, she sees an elderly Chinese woman seated on a verandah, watching on. Lily turned up decades ago, leaving her own broken world behind. She understands the wildness of this place and the power of greater forces, the kind you can’t see that run deep, shaping fate.As the two women are inextricably drawn to each other, they begin to confront what’s been left behind. Lily must reach back to the early 1900s, across life as an outsider in a country that shunned her people. Bec’s reckoning is much closer, though she doesn’t know it yet.There’s a lot at stake in the unlikely bond that grows between them. Lily might finally get free from the tragedies of her past, while Bec might gain the strength to save herself.They’ll need to do it soon. Time is running out for them both.A moving story of trauma, loss of self, and the healing that can still find us when bad things happen.
