Thank you, Kimberley Atkins, for taking a chance on me and my little stories about small towns with big hearts. I am forever grateful.
To my team at Penguin Random House – Ali, Elena and Emily – thank you for all you do to bring my stories to life and get them into the hands of readers. Thank you for your patience (especially you, Elena) as we wrangled this story into what it was meant to be. Thank you, Laura, for your beautiful cover designs. Everywhere I go people comment on how stunning they are.
To my in-law family, thank you for all your support, from buying books and travelling to events to spreading the word.
To my mum, Irene, thank you for tying down every single bowls player on the entire mid-north coast and forcing them to buy The Kookaburra Creek Café. Are you ready to do it again with Rosella Cove?
To my sister, Karen, thank you for all your support and for loving Ivy and Nicole and Charlie from the very start. This is the one that brought us back together. This one is for you.
To my husband, Chris, for ensuring I have the time and space to follow this dream, thank you. Sorry for screaming at you when the edits weren’t going well, but if you can’t scream at the one you love, who can you scream at?
My beautiful daughter, Emily, every day you amaze me with your strength and determination. I hope you know what an inspiration you are to me.
And finally, to the booksellers and librarians and my readers, thank you all for your support!
About the Author
Sandie Docker grew up in Coffs Harbour, and fell in love with reading when her father encouraged her to take up his passion for books. Sandie first decided to put pen to paper (yes, she writes everything the old-fashioned way before hitting a keyboard) while living in London. Now back in Sydney with her husband and daughter, she writes every day.
