The Lupin Fields
Acerca deste libro electrónico
Dawn Burton is happy with her high heeled shoes, movie nights, and a social, city hairdressing career. She even tolerates her overbearing mother. But all that fades into oblivion when a handsome farmer sweeps her off her feet.
With stars in her eyes and dreams of new beginnings she leaves the bustling streets of Auckland behind for her new country life. Except that driving a truck, tending injured wildlife, and rising at cock’s crow to feed demanding, four legged creatures, were complications she hadn’t anticipated.
While she struggles with loneliness, a minefield of complex personalities and a tragic loss, relief comes from an unexpected source – the developing bond with her mother-in-law, Alice. Dawn quickly realizes that all choices have consequences.
As she rises to the challenges, her love for her husband and country life deepen. But when a series of crises befall the family and a long held secret is exposed, Dawn finds her world once more shifting under her gumbooted feet …
Who would have thought a field of lupins could provide the key to happiness?

Born and raised in New Zealand, the highlight of Heather’s childhood was the family sheep and cattle farm north of Auckland.
Reading and writing have always been a big part of Heather’s family life, and from a young age, she dreamed of becoming a writer. With work, travel and raising a family consuming many years after settling in Queensland, it wasn’t until retirement that writing became a possibility.
Heather has drawn on her love and knowledge of farming life after over thirty years of living on farms in Queensland’s Darling Downs to fuel her stories.
When not busy writing, Heather enjoys gardening, minding her grandchildren, and bush walking, exploring the vast beauty of Australia, New Zealand and other countries.
