How much of yourself can you lose before a perfect life stops feeling like your own?
To the outside observer, Luke Brenner has it all: an attractive wife, two beautiful boys, and a glittering future as one of Australia’s brightest architects.
Then, on a family holiday in Bangkok, he collides with the fierce, magnetic first love he hasn’t seen in twenty-five years—and with the artist he abandoned to become the man everyone expected.
Unable to return quietly to habit and compromise, Luke is pulled into a wild passage through desire, grief, art, and the Australian bush. To find a life of passion, he may have to risk the life he spent years building.
“A well-written story about the resilience of love… Luke is a sympathetic character and we suffer and thrive with him.”
“A must-read for anyone looking for a deeply emotional and thought-provoking story that lingers with you long after you finish it.”
“The book does a great job of showing the struggle between doing what you’re supposed to do and following your heart.”
