Book Title: The Legacy Of Old Gran Parks
Book Synopsis:
Southern Australia, 1983. While Middle-aged stalwart Miriam rolls into town in her broken down car, Frankie – a deer hunter – is up in the forested hinterland with her gun.
Meanwhile, fisherwoman Old Pearl sits on her front deck with her dog, a glass of whiskey in her hand, and Emily, the English backpacker, scrubs out the pie-encrusted kitchen at the roadhouse.
But all is not well.
Gran Parks is stirring.
Four troubled women. One restless spirit.
Who will survive?
