The Homestead Girls' author Fiona McArthur is back with a new novel.
Set in the Australian outback, Heart of the Sky is a heart warming story of ordinary women doing extraordinary things.
It follows Tess Daley, who is offered a position as a Breast Cancer Nurse with the Royal Flying Doctor Service at Mica Ridge after her life is forever changed by an accident.
Tess and new pilot Charlie Fennes stay with station owner Soretta Byrnes and they soon begin to feel like family as they share their triumphs and challenges.
But Charlie has a secret that will change life at Mica Ridge.
Heart of the Sky shines a light on the integral role of the Royal Flying Doctors Service in outback communities for women receiving ongoing medical treatment.
McArthur paints a vivid picture of the Australian outback through her writing and helps the reader get a sense of life in an isolated community.
