CeCe D'Aplièse has never felt she fitted in anywhere. Following the
death of her father, the elusive billionaire Pa Salt - so-called by the
six daughters he adopted from around the globe and named after the Seven
Sisters star cluster - she finds herself at breaking point. Dropping
out of art college, CeCe watches as Star, her beloved sister, distances
herself to follow her new love, leaving her completely alone.
In desperation, she decides to flee England and discover her past; the
only clues she has are a black-and-white photograph and the name of a
woman pioneer who lived in Australia over one hundred years ago.
En-route to Sydney, CeCe heads to the one place she has ever felt close
to being herself: the stunning beaches of Krabi, Thailand. There amongst
the backpackers, she meets the mysterious Ace, a man as lonely as she
is and whom she subsequently realizes has a secret to hide . . .
A hundred years earlier, Kitty McBride, daughter of an Edinburgh
clergyman, is given the opportunity to travel to Australia as the
companion of the wealthy Mrs McCrombie. In Adelaide, her fate becomes
entwined with Mrs McCrombie's family, including the identical, yet very
different, twin brothers: impetuous Drummond, and ambitious Andrew, the
heir to a pearling fortune.
When CeCe finally reaches the
searing heat of the Red Centre of Australia, she begins the search for
her past. As something deep within her responds to the energy of the
area and the ancient culture of the Aboriginal people, her creativity
reawakens once more. With help from those she meets on her journey, CeCe
begins to believe that this wild, vast continent could offer her
something she never thought possible: a sense of belonging, and a home .
