The Past Is A Secret Country

Freya Kirby's battle to regain custody of her children is about to take her back to her past in Australia, to a childhood of hidden truths - towards a spiritual heritage that manifests itself in her dreams, but which she does not recognise or understand.

Freya is changing. She is developing her innate gift for healing. She's going to need this gift, for one day the wounds of the past arrive in the shape of Connie. High-flying Connie is an indigenous Australian with an American accent. As unlike the fair-skinned Freya as it is possible to be . . .

How can she face the past and remain strong enough to prove she is a good mother with a perceptive, caring nature?

Passionate about her children, unsure of her future and confused about her past, Freya is certain of only one thing: she must embark on a quest that is at once spiritual, emotional and physical. A journey without expectations, to an unnamed destination.
