About this ebook

From the bestselling author of Red Dust comes the inspirational story of a young woman battling to save the family farm no matter what it takesIn the tradition of Rachael Treasure and from the bestselling author of Red Dust, Blue Skies tells the inspirational story of a young woman battling to save the family farm no matter what it takes. Armed with a degree in Agribusiness, Amanda Greenfield dreams of employing all the skills she's learned in college to help her father turn the family farm from a debt-ridden, run-down basket case into a thriving enterprise. Then tragedy strikes with the death of Amanda's mother in a car accident. Wracked by grief and guilt, and wearied by the long struggle to keep Kyleena a going concern, Amanda's father argues that they should sell up and get on with their lives away from the vagaries of drought and fluctuating stock and crop yields. Having inherited half the farm from her beloved mother, whom she also grieves for, Amanda determines to summon all her strength, grit, and know how to save Kyleena. Along the way she faces mixed fortunes in both love and life.

    This is a very easy read. It is set in Western Australia down on the south coast. It tells the story of Amanda's love for the family farm and the dramas that follow her Mother's death. I really loved reading the intricate details of what Amanda did on the farm and found it true to life. It's quite a compelling read as we wonder why Amanda's father didn't like Adrian and who is the person scaring Amanda? Is it the shearer she threw off the farm?
