Bourke, a small country town in outback Australia, home to the mighty Darling River.
Where skies are bluer than blue, and flies and mozzies abound.
Where wide open spaces and fresh country air regenerate the spirit.
It was this small town Ruby's heart led her back to after fifteen long years away.
The place where Ruby's heart had always belonged.
Securing a position with the Flying Doctor Service, and working for a local doctor was like a dream come true.
She was ready to give back to the people who had done so much to help her.
Her own home, a job she loved, a family and friends she adored.
Life was good, until.....
Phil was a man who had grown up with Ruby and he'd had his eye on her for years.
He'd intended to marry her as soon as he had qualified as a cop and she had qualified as a nurse.
So, what caused everything to go so horribly wrong?
Will a disaster bring them together?
Or will they forever be separated by mistakes from the past?
