Friends out for a horseback beach ride, a truck driver looking forward to his retirement, two British youngsters backpacking in Australia, suddenly and without warning a tragic accident would ensure that five of the six would no longer have a future to look forward to.
Down, but not out, the only human survivor, after a long, hard, painful battle, eventually comes to terms with the life that fate has thrown at him.
A plan gradually forms in his mind, a plan that his dearly loved sister is only too willing to be part of. Soon, their experimental changing of his old sugar cane business, into something equally demanding, has taken shape.
As with any business venture, there are the inevitable ups and downs, but hard work and a willingness to overcome adversity soon see the desired results.
It's not long before the new venture is employing disabled people from far and wide, but that's only the beginning, soon Dilaby Ridge will become practically a household name, not only in Australia, but the world.
Stefan de Frères brings sadness, hope, joy, fun and romance to his inspirational novel which, although based in Australia, intermingles the storyline to show us a taste of life from other countries and cultures.
