Where the river used to run
About this ebook
Three siblings. One dying farm. A river that vanished, and a legacy buried beneath it.
When Grace, Tom, and Noah return to their childhood home to settle their father’s estate, they find a shocking clause in the will: no one inherits unless the long-dry river is restored.
But the drought isn't the only thing that stopped the water. As old tensions rise and secrets surface, the siblings must confront what tore them apart, and what still holds them together. One of them knows why the river really ran dry, and the truth could destroy what's left of the family.
Set against the harsh beauty of rural Australia, Where the River Used to Run is a powerful story of land, legacy, and the quiet fight to heal.
