Bec Roberts and her husband Andy are passionate about their beloved Coolibah Creek station. Hence their devastation as a savage drought ravages their property and stock start to die around them...Bec is also worried about her best friend and neighbour, Maggie O'Donnell, who is married to a bullying and hard-drinking man. With her husband away for long periods and teenage sons away at school, Maggie succumbs to an affair with a stockman...When Andy has a terrible accident, Bec is pushed to her very limits. While the life of the husband she adores hangs in the balance she must fight the bank's attempts to foreclose on Coolibah Creek and hold off a mining company with designs on their land...With drought, droving and desperation this fine novel deals with subjects its grazier author, Kelsey Neilson, knows only too well. Suspenseful and action-packed Coolibah Creek also celebrates the power of love.
