‘The Road Home‘ by Fiona Palmer
When your life is at a crossroads, how do you find the road home?
Lara Turner has a boyfriend, a nice house in the city and a chance at a big promotion. So when her brother calls asking her to come home, she hesitates. Can she face the memories that inhabit the beloved place of her childhood? And how does she feel with the news it’s to be sold? Could she be the answer to saving the family farm?
Jack Morgan has memories of his own to contend with. A falling-out with his family and a bitter end to a past relationship have left a big chip on his shoulder. When his best mate’s beautiful sister arrives on the scene, he finds himself deeply conflicted.
Lara and Jack have a powerful attraction but are constantly at odds. Will their love of the same land keep them apart, or grow into a love of a different kind?
‘The Road Home’ is Fiona’s third heartwarming novel. It was an enjoyable and engaging read from start to finish.
Fiona Palmer lives in the tiny rural town of Pingaring in Western Australia; three and a half hours south-east of Perth. She works and has extensive farming experience. Fiona is married and writes in between looking after their two children.

‘29‘ by Adena Halpern
What if you closed your eyes, blew out the candles and your wish came true?
Ellie Jerome is a young-at-heart 75-year old who relates more to her 25-year old granddaughter Lucy than to her 55-year old daughter Barbara. Ellie’s done everything she can to stay young, and the last thing she wants is to celebrate another birthday. So when she finds herself confronted with a cake full of candles, Ellie wishes more than anything that she could be twenty-nine again, just for one day. But who expects a wish like that to come true?
’29′ has an interesting plot theme, which I found very thought provoking. If you could go back for just one day…would you?
Adena Halpern has a Bachelor of Fine Arts in dramatic writing, and a Master of Fine Arts in screenwriting. A proud Philadelphia native, she resides in Los Angeles with her husband.
