NEW SAGA

The irresistible new historical novel in the Cliffehaven series from the Sunday Times bestselling author, perfect for fans of Katie Flynn and Dilly Court.

Cliffehaven, 1947

In the wake of heartbreaking loss, Roisin Reilly makes a promise to her granddaughter Bella that they will cross the Wye Valley and travel to Cliffehaven to find the family she left with no warning nearly fifty years ago.

As the pair embark upon their journey, there’s no telling who they will find – and whether they will be welcomed with open arms – when they get there.

Meanwhile Roisin’s estranged brother Ron has been drawn back into his own memories of the past – even in spite of his daughter-in-law Pauline going missing and his son Jim suffering as years spent fighting in Burma catch up with him.

The war may be over, but there are plenty of storms still to weather.

Will love be enough to hold the Reilly family together?

The Australian Government is introducing a new emergency warning system later this year called AusAlert.

AusAlert uses the latest technology to send emergency messages to compatible mobile devices during local and national disasters.

These messages aim to keep communities informed so they can take action, saving lives and property.

In the lead up to AusAlert being used, there will be some testing of the system during June and July.

A regional test is happening in the Launceston area on 15 June, followed by a national test on 27 July.

For more information and resources, visit www.ausalert.gov.au.
