The unexpected death of her husband forces Helen to leave her farm and the red dust of Outback Queensland, the only home she’s known for forty years.
Weighed down by shocking revelations, unanswered questions, and an uncertain future, she heads to Scotland where her fractured spirit begins to heal with help from the kindness of friends and the wild and beautiful Isle of Skye.
Soon, unexpected circumstances throw her in the path of Doctor Michael Blakeney, a man with his own troubles. Through their slow-burning connection, Helen experiences glimmers of joy—the first in decades.
But when a call from home brings her face to face with painful truths, she has to make a choice. Will she retreat once more or embrace a second chance?
The heather always blooms again. But will her heart?
Heather Reyburn enjoyed an idyllic childhood in beautiful New Zealand, before settling on the Darling Downs in Queensland. With a passion for nature, animals, reading and all things farm related, it wasn’t long before her rural lifestyle inspired dreams of writing stories of her own. She loves happy endings, country life, suspense, and characters who remain with the reader long after “The End”. When not writing, Heather is often found in the garden, hiking or spending time with her family.
