Kirsty Mitchell is ready to come home. After a tragic accident that left her scarred, she fled overseas, desperate to forget. Now, three years later, she returns to Flame Tree Hill, her beloved family farm, to confront her demons. But she isn't prepared for a new and terrifying challenge: being diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of twenty-five. Kirsty has never been a quitter, and she isn't about to start. But can her budding romance with gorgeous local vet Aden bear the strain? The more he tries to help, the more she pushes him away, and the past threatens to overwhelm her. As she battles through chemotherapy and her own tangled emotions, Kirsty realises you can never take anything βΒ or anyone β for granted. With the support of her family and friends, and the strength she draws from the beautiful landscape of Far North Queensland, Kirsty finally understands what she must do βΒ if she's lucky enough to survive. A lyrical and heartwarming testament to the power of love, Flame Tree Hill is also about overcoming the odds and, most importantly, learning to forgive yourself.Β 'Romance is back in the heartwarming Flame Tree Hill, by an author who has an authentic rural voice and creates wonderful, flawed characters dealing with personal demons ...
