Come Home, Dear: An Australian Outback Romance

Australia, 1956. Penny Bartlett has loved John Dean from afar for years. Will two arrivals to Green Valley prevent Penny from revealing her true feelings to him? From the bestselling author of Australian outback romance. Over 12 million books sold worldwide. When Ross Bennet returns home to the neighbouring estate he doesn't hide his interest in Penny. But Penny long ago gave her heart to family-friend John Dean, despite their ten-year age difference. Could John recognise that Penny is now a young woman, or will she be pushed into Ross's arms? There are more complications when Miss Lucille Ditton comes to the Bartlett homestead as housekeeper. Her brisk efficiency soon seems more like interfering to Penny. Then Miss Ditton crosses a boundary which Penny finds difficult to forgive. Thanks to unsubtle hints from Miss Ditton, everyone in the valley assumes that Penny and Ross will marry. Has Miss Ditton made an innocent mistake, or is her real intention to win John Dean for herself? Lucy Walker's gentle, clean romances give readers a fascinating insight into the landscape, people and customs of the Western Australian outback in the mid-twentieth century.
