Diana's dream of starting a flower farm has been the perfect diversion, and with an elderly dahlia expert showing her the ropes she won't have to do this alone.
Locum pharmacist and single dad Ned Gardiner hasn't called Victoria home for years. However, his father's death forces Ned to return to the family farm, a place that holds few happy memories for him.
Dealing with his estranged mother and sorting his father's affairs, he plans on leaving as soon as possible, but what will it take for Ned to put down roots?
With six children between them, can this pair juggle families, farms and the possibility of a blossoming romance?
Paperbark Hill is the final story about the McIntyre sisters, following Wildflower Ridge, Bottlebrush Creek and Magpie's Bend.
Set in western Victoria and with a plot that evolved from the author’s personal passion for dahlias and her daydreams about one day starting her own flower farm, Paperbark Hill tackles grief, family dynamics, addiction, romance and the burgeoning ‘grown not flown’ movement within the Australian flower industry.
The author’s dahlias feature on the cover of the book.
Paperbark Hill by Maya Linnell is published by Allen & Unwin, RRP $29.99.
