Keepers

'A beautifully crafted, emotionally gripping tale of love, resilience, and self-discovery. An unforgettable read!' Reader's House Magazine

At eight months pregnant, Raine shouldn’t be on a jolting bus crawling through snow searching for her husband. He might not want to be found. She might not want to find him.

When Raine Merrett’s beloved Pop needs medical treatment in the city, her family reluctantly leaves the familiar calm of the countryside. But it's post WW2 Australia, there’s a housing shortage, and the family must live in a migrant camp on the flat plains outside the city. Determined to be strong, Raine tackles her hated new life in a Nissen hut with gritty persistence.

Along with thousands of others, Teddy Greene’s family has abandoned war-ruined London’s East End for the promise of a better life down under. For now, they too must make do with the sparse living of the camp.

When Teddy and Alf, best mates since childhood, rescue Raine from a drunken attack, their heroism ignites a whirlwind of passion, uncertainty, and heartache as Raine strives to discover where her true path to happiness lies.

Inspired by true events, this emotionally charged and immersive story of love, abandonment and self-discovery will stay with you long after the final page.
