In der Blüte des Sturms

The fate of strong women, their stories, and great love on the Australian coast: After Ellie Conlan loses her job in Melbourne and finds herself in her mid-thirties with no plans for her life, she urgently needs a break. She moves to the picturesque coastal town of Storm Harbour to live with her grandfather Patrick. Upon her arrival, she helps him at the local newspaper, the Chronicle, which Patrick has taken over. What begins as a vacation turns into a journey into her past—and that of the local community. Ellie discovers joy in working as a journalist and learning more about the place and the people through their stories.

For the birthday of matriarch Kathryn O'Neill, Ellie wants to write a report about the woman who holds Storm Harbour together, lives in the grand estate, and tends to the botanical garden. However, during her research, she uncovers a mysterious building deal that threatens both the large botanical garden and the campsite along with its residents. As Ellie dives into her investigation, she finds herself in the crosshairs of the unknown developers. She realizes that shaking off the past is not so easy. Not only does her best friend Mike stand by her side, but Kathryn's sons Ronan and Ben O'Neill are also familiar faces to Ellie, and soon her heart unexpectedly races.

Bestselling author Di Morrissey weaves an emotional love story that combines an exciting journey into the past with contemporary issues.
