About this ebook
The liberated 60s have not reached the shores of New Zealand when Claire, a single pregnant girl is sent up-country to have her child, which is to be adopted out. The Sloane family are strangers who offer to board her. But are they?
Immediately after her arrival, Alan and Hazel Sloane are involved in a
truck accident. Claire gets help but is now alone on the farm. Initial fears reach a climax when Bob Hodge, Hazel's father arrives to look after
the animals.
Gradually an affinity develops between them. Claire's life is at a tangent
and a thread of facts begin to unwind about herself and the family she is
living with. Tragedies of the past surface and actions of the present complicate issues.
The tranquillity of the surface hides a darker background that goes back a
generation to before Claire was born. And she is directly involved.
