About this eBook
Hundreds of kilometres without a car, a house or a person in sight. The dome of clear blue above and the occasional group of roos startling off into the scrub. Then emus, bolting off in a mad panic on the other side. I was finding something that had been lost inside me and I wanted to weave in and out on that straight white ribbon of road for the joy of having found it again.Cross my Heart is the story of Mick and Michelle, chasing a dream, crossing their hearts for the future. A vibrant, passionate, sprawling novel set in outback Australia from the highly acclaimed author of Chain of Hearts and Queen Kat, Carmel and St Jude Get a Life.
