Can Kate Dowd save her family's struggling sheep station while a world at war closes in around her?

Raised to be a lady, Kate never imagined swapping her white gloves and pearls for the harsh realities of life on a New South Wales sheep farm. But in 1945, with drought gripping the land, debts mounting, and the war taking its toll, she must step up to help her family survive.

When two Italian prisoners of war, Luca and Vittorio, arrive to work on the station, tensions begin to rise. As fears, secrets and loyalties are tested, Kate discovers that danger can come from the most unexpected places. And the more she gets to know Luca, the harder it becomes to ignore the connection growing between them.

A captivating story of courage, resilience, love and loss set against the sweeping Australian landscape, The Woolgrower's Companion is perfect for readers who enjoy historical fiction with unforgettable characters.
