ABOUT THE BOOK
‘Steinbauer family history was rewritten even while it was happening until it became difficult to recall which bits were fabricated or embellished.’
Sisters Fin and George navigate their love/hate relationship growing up in a highly dysfunctional family. Their father Victor moves them to an isolated rural property outside Brisbane where his dreams to create an idyllic rural retreat crumble while his family tiptoe around his unpredictable moods.
Fin leaves the moment she can and becomes a compassionate palliative care nurse, helping people to leave this world but unable to bring her own child into it.
George has the opposite problem and turns to Fin whenever she runs into difficulties.
When Fin, close to forty, falls in love with Anthony, her biological clock is ticking. Will she fulfill her dream of parenthood, or will her family’s needs once again prevail?
