For 16 years, Elizabeth Conroy had been slowly suffocating in her Pollyanna straightjacket, when circumstances dealt her a crushing blow. Gone was the laughter and the life she had known as bitterness and anger bit into her soul. She knew she had to escape the city. Shaking off the trappings of her executive lifestyle she boarded a north bound train with no particular destination in mind...

Respect wasn't something Beth took for granted in the competitive world. Her dues were paid and financial rewards offered her a comfortable lifestyle. The hallmark of her success was obvious to those around her, with admiration coming from everyone, except from the man she had chosen to marry. Under the attack of the unfortune in her life, her optimism was changed into anger. At last, she chose to leave the place she lived.

Roz Baker has sold over 19,000 books, making her one of the most successful self-published novelists in Australia. Roz travels 50,000km each year between the Shoalhaven and Brisbane, telling the inspirational story of overcoming brain surgery before self-publishing three successful novels. She is an advanced Toastmaster and an award winning Bush Poet.

Elizabeth Conroy hadn’t spoken to a soul in days and that suited her fine. She periodically drifted into a trance-like state as she viewed the vastness of the Australian hinterland. That too, suited her fine. Summer had slipped into autumn but no visible sign alerted her to the fact. With thousands of miles now behind her, plans were still vague in her mind. She simply took each day as it came, oblivious to the future, despairing of the past.
