Jenny Morrison is bravely trying to move on with her life. Her husband missing amidst the turmoil of WWII, she takes refuge with Ray King, a slightly sinister, stuttering boy who disappeared from Woody Creek as a teenager but has now reappeared. In return for regular 'wifely duties', Ray offers Jenny and her three children sanctuary at his house in Melbourne. For a time, she is happy. But then Jenny's father - the philandering impresario Archie Foote - storms back into her world and chaos reigns again. Archie recognises Jenny's brilliance and offers her a second chance - a way to escape the domestic drudgery and finally fulfil her dream. But when you have three children, one missing husband and another with a dark secret, dreams have a habit of turning into nightmares...

"This is a story of great courage by a woman in the face of a series of disastrous consequences, both from her own actions and through the selfishness and cruelty of others. It is well worth reading. I also enjoyed the local setting." — Alex (4 out of 5 stars)

" Great book - great saga "
" I enjoyed it like the first two in this set. May be a bit depressing for some, the characters lives always take a turn for the worst. The ending on this one left me expecting maybe another one coming in the series? Hopefully :-) "
" I enjoyed this book just as well as the other two in the series "
" Yet MORE Woody Creek!! :) "
" I wish the story would go on and on that is how much I enjoyed reading these books. "
" Loved it apart from when grannie died - there should have been much more made of her death and the funeral etc. Am sure there will be a fourth installment "
" I enjoyed this but felt at times it was taking to long to get somewhere. "
" Love the woody creek series when I finished this one I immediately had to purchase the fourth Joy Dettman is a great storyteller "
" Maybe not as good as 'Pearl' and 'Thorn', but necessary reading if you want to find out what happens to the Morrison-Hooper extended families. And I did, and still do - so now reading 'Wind in the Wires'... "
