Anna and Jared West reunite to look after baby Melanie at their Outback home.
Five months after walking out on Jarndirri Station, Anna needs her estranged husband’s help to shelter the infant before the torrential Wet season cuts off the Kimberley.
Jared flies through thunderclouds to bring them to the remote homestead, determined to win back his wife while they send the station crew away to guard their secret.
As if changing diapers, mushing baby food and sleepless nights weren't enough of a challenge, Anna and Jared must confront what went wrong in their marriage. Between soothing a teething infant and mashing apples, every gentle touch reawakens the fierce desire they buried beneath a year of grief.
Could this dimpled, smiling bundle of joy be the one small miracle who can rescue all their hopes and dreams?
- Second Chance: Anna walked away after losing their son Adam, but returning to the homestead forces them to confront the silent grief that tore their five-year marriage apart.
- Forced Proximity: Trapped together as torrential storms batter the homestead, late-night bottle feedings and makeshift baby baths quickly dissolve the distance between them.
- Estranged Spouses: From salvaging a rusty roadside travel cot to pacing the kitchen with chamomile drops at dawn, Jared proves he is willing to do whatever it takes to protect the woman he loves.
- Small Town Setting: Set against the rugged red landscapes of north-western Australia, their Kimberley cattle station becomes a private haven from town gossip and painful memories.
