Summary

The Wheatbelt town of Kilgarry doesn't like change. So, when graduate teacher Amy Hansen arrives with her city-girl attitude, friction grows quickly. The male population either want to marry her... or run her out of town! Twelve-year-old student Leah Hargreaves comes from farming royalty. To Amy, the narrative she writes in class is a cry for help, emanating from a place deep inside her... a place damaged and laden with fear. Distrusted and harassed by the very people who are supposed to protect them, Amy and Leah come out fighting, turning life in Kilgarry into a battle zone that is both explosive and corrosive. Keeping their sanity will be hard enough. Delivering justice when the laws are so easily manipulated, might just prove to be impossible..
