Got Keen? Open it in the appAbout
A funny, warm and wise insight into the joys and challenges of finding community in the most unlikely places, from the bestselling author of The Road Trip.
As manager of a Kimberley resort, Nelda has a lot on her plate. So when Beatrice Foreston, a wealthy friend of the owner, arrives in fragile health to recuperate from an unpleasant battle with cancer, Nelda is not happy as Beatrice will need special treatment.
Worse, Nelda has heard there is a spy in their midst - and they will have to be dealt with. Because a spy could uncover Nelda's secret, and if that happens, it could ruin the resort and destroy the livelihoods of all who depend on it.
When Kathleen starts to investigate something amiss, Nelda has no choice but to confess what she is hiding, and Beatrice, determined to get her mojo back, joins forces with them to try and put things right and save the community they all love - before it's too late.
